November 21- photo bomb

There he was, his big day, the day he would get painted. He had a very fancy suit tailored just for this very special occasion. It had been a project he had saved up for, for years. Working in the factory was not a nice pay but it was enough, enough for him. When he was a young boy he always wanted to be painted. It started when He went to an art gallery, all the people looked beyond explanation. Their features were stained with painstaking effort into these pieces of canvas. Their expressions were those of dignity and pride and none looked the least bit from amazing. So he started saving, first he knew he had to have a suit. So for most of his childhood he did small jobs, but these alone would not be enough, oh no most definitely not! For he wanted the nicest suit available. All the finest materials and designs, not just anything would do. After some time he had what he felt was a sufficient amount, though he was a great deal older than when he started, his dream was still burning. He took up a job at the local factory and after a few years he had enough money to hire an artist. Finally the day had come to become his ultimate dream. So he went and got his special suit made and even bought a hat. Then he walked over to where the local artist lived and with the excitement of a child he knocked on the mans door, gave him the money and sat down to be painted. There was but one problem, the artist knew not how to paint faces. He didn't want to tell the man for fear it might crush him so he did what he could. Then it came to him, a marvelous plan! He would simply put an apple in for the man's face! Yes it was truly brilliant, the artist was pleased. So he sat down and painted the man. For almost a day he painted and the happy man didn't move an inch for the whole process. Finally the moment was upon them, the great unveiling of the painting. The ever excited man's face fell, he was one second ago the happiest man alive and now he was the saddest. For right in his picture the bricks behind him were chipped and damaged.
