This so much harder to do with writing. Writers tease out the
details keeping the reader turning the pages. I usually set out the entire
picture on one canvas.
In a painting the young man who opened the door would occupy a central
position. Tiara's studio with it's elegant Japanese furnishings a part of
the background. The wood framed futon I slept on. Its mattress cover
patterned with white cranes. Suggested in the background.
The endless stairs in the new SFMOMA might also be visible in the
background. I should have taken the elevator.
