I wrote this for the June 27th Flash Fiction Challenge
Stavo picked up his bag and slung it over his shoulder
the cans rattled together, they shifted in the sack
Tonight he carried mostly blues, greens, yellows, and greys
He took the path through the park, from his van to the bridge
His canvas was already chosen so he promptly set to work
Shaking each can before use
Ducking down as cars passed
He painted a portrait of Caledonia
The young girl with colourful corkscrew hair and full, lush lips
He never sold his work
Just put it out- to be loved or hated
By whoever happened across it
The prompt: In 99 words (no more, no less) write a story that involves paint. It can be fresh, peeling or in need of a coat. What is being painted and why? Go where the prompt leads!

Reminded me of the graffiti prompt. This flash shows the vandal as an artist. Who’s to say?

I love it, especially the description of the girl: it’s specifics such as this that bring a piece to life — as your spray can artist appreciated 🙂

Some of our cities could do with this sort of brightening up.

Some see it as vandalism, some see it as art.
Sometimes its nothing more than advertisements.

Some is vandalism. What you describe is art. There should be more of it.
