[Rapunzel was fidgeting with her hair nervously. What was she nervous about? Well people were soon about to find out.]

So... hi everyone. So Curufin was so nice and got something that will be used as a reminder for those who have come and gone from the train. [She soon paused. It might not be the nicest reminder that people have left the train, but hey she had to say it.]

I was hoping to ask if anyone wanted to paint something for someone who has left who if you don't want to but still want to leave a tribute you can always ask me or someone else to do it. If you ask me you need to let me know who and what they were like so I can paint something that suits the person.

I hope that people like this and hope to add to it.

Rapunzel is generous with her praise. [ Smile. ]

I bought a roll of canvas large enough to make a mural that can hang in the corridor of the Music Carriage, and extend all the way along the right-hand wall between the doors at either end. And I bought wood to make a frame on which to stretch the canvas. And also, wood to make an easel to hold the mural while it's being painted.

Rapunzel's idea was to have as many people as would like to participate actually do the painting. As she says, the theme would be the people who were here but now are gone from the train, as a sort of memorial to them. If anybody has someone they want to remember in this way but doesn't feel they have the artistic skills, then they can ask Rapunzel or someone else to do the actual painting.

Don't ask me, though. [ Chuckle. ] I'm going to stick to being the carpenter and making the canvas frame and sticking the thing on the wall when it's finished.

[adropofsunlight]

Are you saying you also don't have the talent for painting? I put yo down for someone with the skill.

[so_dark_a_road]

Well. . . I haven't done a lot of representational imagery, at least not when it's images of people. If you ask me for that, you're liable to get stick figures or worse! [ Snicker. This is not entirely true, but Curufin likes to make fun of himself occasionally. ] I can make images of buildings and landscape, though.

[adropofsunlight]

That's still a form of art though landscapes and such. I think a lot of people do that type of thing.

[so_dark_a_road]

True, that is an art form. Landscapes and architecture are serious subjects for artists.

[adropofsunlight]

Yes and they help one improve. But I never got to do many of those kinds of things. I have been since I got on the train though.

[so_dark_a_road]

I can believe they help an artist improve. I'm glad you get to work on your drawing and painting, now that you're free of your situation in your own world, and free to do as you wish with your time on the train.

[adropofsunlight]

Yes and hopefully for when I go home, whenever that is.

[so_dark_a_road]

Nobody knows when we will go home, but when you do, you'll take your skills with you. That is such a good thing!

[adropofsunlight]

We don't even know if we actually do though, right? Thats why I worry a little bit.

[so_dark_a_road]

True. We don't really know if we'll ever leave the train and go back to our own worlds. But I'm guessing we will, at some point. We just don't know when. Are you really worried about not going at all?
