The Watercolor Rainbow MEAGAN VICENS
I. When I was 5 I had a heart full of watercolor. When I retrieved the white piece of construction paper from my favorite art closet in the kindergarten classroom, I’d splatter my sticky little kid hands across the empty canvas while the paint sprouted from my fingertips like a newly budding flower. I always ended up with a rainbow. I liked watercolor because there were only two ingredients to the recipewater and paint. You didn’t have to stay inside the lines or obey any rules. You didn’t have to understand anything at the age of 5. II. When I was 10 I always wondered, Who painted the rainbows in the sky? Maybe it was God, 38 | Montage
