This was an on-the-spot demo painting of the "Black Swan" gallery in downtown Seattle, about 3 blocks from the Seattle Art Museum. I love doing demo's, but, because of a a small child in a wheel chair, I'll never forget this one.
The child was about 7 years old, and seemed enthralled at the process. Her parents owned the next door cafe. They were from Brazil, and seemed to be very sweet folks. I asked them if it was ok to let her paint. They said, "Sure, but she doesn't understand English. "

Wonderful painting, and great story about the girl in the wheelchair!!!! Did you retain any of your work on the (right side) of the piece?
Charles Munn replied:
Thank you so much, Joyce! Wife is much younger than I so I've promised not to sell a few pieces that she likes, but I'm happy to say that all of those pieces leaning against the wall in that painting have long been sold. ;D))
