Give me real paint

Her hands were actually twitching.  She asked again, as she had already a few times during the week: "Can I paint with acrylic on canvas?  Pleeeease?"  She was stuck at home, sick, and I finally took the time to get the materials together.

She was listening to "Peter Pan in Scarlet" on audio.  She carefully drew, then painted the mountains, a little village of huts, the sea.  An hour or two passed in careful pleasure, as her soul was satisfied, for the moment.
