I teach middle schoolers. I paint. Both are the same lesson: some colors and some kids only settle on their own timing.

A Wash Won't Be Pushed

Watercolor is a contract: pigment suspended in gum arabic, riding a film of water. Push wet into wet before it settles and the color blooms where it wants, not where you asked. This short is the patience of waiting for the shine to go matte.

About

Twenty-seven, teaching assistant in Boynton Beach, earning my certification. Days are lesson plans and behavioral charts; nights are watercolor washes and salsa a block from the water. I'm building curricula that teach kids color theory the way I learned it: by making them wait for a layer to dry, then watching it do something you couldn't plan.

I admire Yayoi Kusama's refusal to apologize for obsession, and I've never met a taco I couldn't work with after a morning of beach volleyball.
