Paint
A young woman walks barefoot across a large canvas tarp. She is holding above her head a comically large paintbrush full of different color paints. Random colors drop from the bristles as she walks, leaving large blots behind her.
She puts her paintbrush down and drags it around her to create a circle of red, blue, purple, orange and brown.
She picks up the brush and walks back through the paint. She then places the brush head on the spot where she had stood, dragging it towards her. When she walks backwards, she stumbles and falls to the ground.
Paint falls on her and the canvas. The colors spot her white clothes. When she gets up, her right leg is covered in paint. She continues to drag the brush across the canvas until her feet are covered in a wretched brown and the canvas is streaked with dark strokes and light strokes.
Her muscles are sore and her body is tired, but her mind is satisfied. She climbs up the nearby ladder and admires her work.
