Suspense

When I was informed that the judge for the a major watercolor competition was a painter that admittedly hated my work, I set out to change his tune. I spent only a little time painting this “off the wall” piece, and never signed it. When the kurmudgeon discovered that he gave my work the top award he was speechless. There were so many things I wanted to say, but instead I thanked him for giving me the opportunity to show him more of my work.
