Description
“Whatcha doing?” the boy asked. Jack didn’t turn his head or reply, but instead kept his eyes fixed on the fence in front of him. The boy that had come up next to him shifted back and forth on his feet waiting until his patience wore out and repeated, “Whatcha doing”
Jack lifted his paintbrush and looked down the length as if carefully aiming at a wayward rabbit eating up the vegetable garden. “Very important work,” Jack replied.
The boy squinted an eye. “It looks like you’re painting a fence.”
Jack shook his head. “Not just painting a fence, but the very most important work.”
“Why?” asked the boy.
Jack humphed and sat back on his heels. “If you don’t know why, then that’s the reason the Lady that owns this house gave me the job, and not you.”
“I know why,” the boy quickly replied. “I was just testing you.”
“Well, even if you do know why this is such an important job,” Jack lifted his shoulders to affirm his statement, “the Lady still gave me the job and not you.”
The boy kicked at a pebble. “That’s not fair, I want a turn.”

Wonderful scene. Love all the details and lighting. Excellent work
Classic Sam Clemmons logic! Love it! Everything old is new again! Most fantastic work, Wolf! Bravo!
reminds me of the karate kid painting the fence.
Magnificent image, beautiful scene, excellent done!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Amazing work in black and white. Colour is indeed not always necessary!
Very beutiful scene !!
If he asked nicely he may get a go.
He's not painting the fence. He's coaxing the fence to display it's most beautiful self by introducing it to the pigment in the paint can. ;)
Jack is clever; he will now have a helper. Good light and shadow in this render.
LOL! Classic Tom Sawyer. Nicely done.
Everything in the picture seems focused on that brush! Great composition!! Wonderful story image. 🙂
lol, I love the way you end this, with the new kid wanting to paint too...a real surprise. I'm getting a feeling from these 'storyboards' that you're creating whole scenes, but not weaving them together in your usual woven novelistic manner. And I assume (from what you've written) that you regard this as a storyboard, not as a completed work. But I want to say that there's something appealing about this format, even though you do the novelistic format with fullness and panache; I don't, however, feel this is a "thumbnail" for a novel; it's ike a series of scenes in a film, where each scene gives another picture of the whole. So I'm not saying I wouldn't like a novel out of this one day: I just like the feel of this vignette-style as well. It has a rhythm all its own.
You pack conflict in to a short dialogue, and somehow make it complete. I really like this interchange, it's complete even as it's short. And I love the ending. And the visual has a mysterious feel, for all the dark in it. I'm really enjoying this series.
