Even if she hadn’t confirmed Signe’s suspicions, she would have immediately been able to tell the girl was an artist from the way her eyes sparked with excitement as she spoke about her paintings. The way the words would come out in an enthusiastic rush was a dead giveaway. Signe laughed, glad that the girl related to the sudden itch of inspiration and the frustration at not planning ahead for the moment. “I like to think of the different ways people interpret art is pretty similar to the different ways people can style the same item of clothing,” Signe smiled, fiddling with the ends of her hair, agreeing that it was an interesting phenomenon. “Right? It’s happened to me enough times that you think I’d just learn to carry a sketchpad with me wherever I go.” “I love that you’re painting sunsets,” she said softly, her voice warm and thoughtful. “Most people might think there’s only one way to pain them but it’s just like you said – the time of year, the time of day, the colors can all be so vastly different. And no matter what the way the colors blend together, it’s always beautiful.” Signe tilted her head to the side as she considered the other girl’s question. “I haven’t worked on any sunsets myself lately – I did a few for assignments in high school, though. It kind of turned into this abstract piece–lots of messy layers. It turned into an emotional map of sorts…like this layer was when I was overwhelmed, this layer is where I felt okay again.” She giggled, shaking her head at the memory of the class assignment. “As a teenage girl who’d just moved across the ocean, I bet you can imagine what a mess it was.”
" i do paint, yeah. i have one that i finally got the chance to finish the other day. it's not entirely done yet or good enough to be shown, but it will be eventually. " bella loved to get the chance to talk about her art whenever she had gotten the chance. " it's always been interesting to me how everyone can interpret a certain painting, you know? " the brunette listened the other speak as her eyes had scanned around the other paintings that were on their displays. " i was just about to say the same. sometimes it makes me feel like i should've just brought it to sketch down a simple idea if the inspiration happened to strike me at a random moment. being in a place like this it's almost hard for it not to, you know? " a quick nod of her head soon followed at signe's next comment. " that's always how it ends up working out! you could've had an idea in your head and then the outcome isn't always entirely as you may have pictured for it to be. " there was so many different things that she genuinely loved to paint about. " lately, i've been painting sunsets. there's just something that seems so peaceful about it, some have more of a fall vibe. while others have more of a summer kind of vibe to it. kind of makes me wonder what my next one will possibly end up being. have you worked on any recently?
