Gone Fishing

Summer 2012
Oil Paint
This is my 3rd attempt at oil painting. This is a landscape painting from life. I played around with my pallet knife a
lot more in an attempt to make the painting more impressionistic.

Gone Fishing

I work at a diner on Maple Street.

I am waitress, cook, and cashier.

I open, close, and work everyday of every year.

For twelve years I have spent my life on Maple Street.

But today I took out my pen,

Scribbled on a sheet of paper from my waiter’s notebook

Stuck it on the door with a bit of duck tape

And then I grabbed my hat and left.
