Cause and Effect



An artist painting portraits on a busy street corner spills color on an almost finished portrait of tall, exotic woman with hair like gold, eyes like sapphires, and red wine smiling lips. Perhaps, he spills the color because he is frustrated by a careless mistake he keeps making because he is paying more attention to her then painting. Perhaps, he cannot focus because of all the noise due to taxi, buses and truck zooming by. Or perhaps, he does not like the way the portrait had turned out.
Because he has spilled the color on the portrait and the portrait is ruined, he can react in different ways. He becomes angry because all of this time is wasted. Perhaps, he is going to start over and make a new one. Or he may try to fix the portrait by coloring over it to make it look like accident didn’t happen.
