Painting Gratitude

Question: How can a dancer help a painter?
Answer: By making the painter a banner.

That trivia will hardly be true in planet Earth. But in the www galaxy, it actually describes what happened to this one [word] painter.

She needed a new frame to display her works. After finding one she could use, she realized it could be enhanced. With very limited frame-polishing skills, she turns to someone she knew could help: the dancer. The dancer lives in the same www galaxy (was already occupying a blogspot home long before the painter went real-estate hunting around the neighborhood). To make the weeklong story short, the painter had to find a new frame for the dancer to work on. And oh, how the frame was creatively carved and varnished. She loved it.

And so goes the story behind the redesigned Shades of Grace. And though metaphorical, the story is far from fictional.

This very grateful painter says,

“Thank you, tapdancin’ Aleks. Your effort deserved a painting.”

Hi Beng, I like your new frame but somehow I missed the old one. I think I need some time warming up to the new one.

Hi Nang, you'd grow to love this new frame somehow. It's just a matter of time, you'll see! :-)

Hi Aleks, don't worry. I was hoping that the people would get it that I'm being metaphorical about your being a (tap)dancer. For I, myself, am not a painter! :-)
