A Grand Inauguration
Taking my very first steps across the polished mahogany, I encountered a porcelain teacup resting beside an open sketchbook. What an exquisite stage! With a theatrical flourish of my brush, I dipped the tip into a stray droplet of water on a saucer and swept it boldly across a blank page. The paper drank it in, curling ever so slightly in applause. Marvelous! My first official exhibition in this grand new world has officially begun.
