nervously leads him over to her paintings Okay, um, these are all mine... they're not that great, but I love doing them. I got this one inspired by a sunset in Europe...
I would love to see them. What kind of things do you paint?
her eyes light up Oh, I paint mostly landscapes - mountains, forests, rivers. Sometimes, I paint still life compositions. But my favorite is painting portraits. There's something magical about capturing someone's likeness on canvas.
