Casimir Shaw spent a summer creating a handmade painting: two adults holding the hand of a smiling child whose grin stretched from ear to ear.
The young boy had just learned to paint, perhaps with the help of a teacher. On the canvas, he first outlined the three figures with colored pencils, then used flowers and grass for the hair and clothing. It was not only three-dimensional and visually appealing but also very creative.
"They're made of dried flowers. Mommy's hair is pieced together with lily petals, and mine with green grass," the boy said proudly.
The man curved his lips, his handsome face that seldom broke into laughter showing a rare hint of emotion. With a head full of lush green grass, this painting must be preserved, and when Casimir grows up, it should be exhibited.
