A young boy looked at paintings made inside a prison and said he couldn’t believe prisoners made them. He’d already learned what he was supposed to think.
Right? Right! I too was in awe of the paintings. So much so I purchased two of them. They are hanging in my apartment! Thank you Jeremy for bringing all of this to light. I’m hoping that young boy talks more about what he saw… Your proud aunt! 🙃
What a beautiful recap of this summer's art show and a powerful mini-story in there with what that young boy at the closing event observed. ("Wow! I can't believe this came from people in prison.") And your response and noticing our use of "Wow!," which is rarely said when one's expectations are met.
Thanks! And I am not saying the idea of wow is a bad thing. It's more about where it comes from. "Wow, I can't believer prisoners painted these." versus "Wow, these are beautiful." I feel like the former comes from expectations and the later comes from awe.
Thanks Jill! So glad you found it meaningful!
