Because descriptions are important...

So, here we have Amelie painting a picture in the park (kind of bad weather to be doing so, but I guess you can't keep artists from their inspirations) with Goldfish the cat by her side. Amelie is just minding her business when a strange man walks behind her and catches a tiny glimpse of her painting. Since he only got to see a tiny glimpse, and he doesn't want to stand behind her like a dork, he walks around the park and comes back to take another peek as he walks past. Repeat this three more times.

That is Finley Adams Dutch, an artist around the same age of Amelie. Unfortunately for poor Finn, Amelie took his favorite bench! She doesn't know that though, but Finn is still a bit upset that he has to choose another bench to sit upon. Either way, he's alright with it. He's more curious about her painting.

Yes, that is a snowball in the upper right-hand corner. Yes, it hits Finley as he continues walking on. No, it wasn't intentionally thrown at him.

No, Amelie isn't wearing a coat. Why? Because it covers her dress. She made that dress and she likes to show it off. Plus, her shawl helps keep her warm. Yes, she takes her cat to the park, and yes, Goldfish behaves pretty well on a rope. I forgot to "smoosh" the snow around the objects so they seem embedded in the snow, and I forgot to pile snow upon the trees... but oh well. I might go back and finish that later. :)

We all must <3 Finley... he needs it.
