Hello, I'm Gideon

And I'm Gabriel

And today young Lightwoods, we shall be discussing the fine art if painting!

As a Lightwood you have natural creative genius

Well, most of the time

Excuse me?

I'm just saying that your finger paintings when you little turned out awful

They were not!

Oh I think you'll find they were

Moving on

*laughing in corner*

Hey!

Just because your finger paintings were horendous

They we're hundred times better than yours!

Oh yeah?

Yeah!

We'll see about that!

Huh?

I challenge you to a finger painting off!

Good lord! You really have lost it!

Too scared your big brother will beat you at finger painting?

Not a chance!

Then let's do this!

*arranges finger paints and paper*

3...2...1...

PAINT!

*paints*

*paints*

--- half an hour later ---

Are you finished?

Yes

Let's see then

No, you first

Fine! *shows painting*

What is that?

Its a frog, you remember out first chapter of this book?

Why are you always so sentimental?

I'm not sentamental!

Yes you are, you married a mundane girl with a hidious scar

Don't you dare call my Sophie hideous Gabriel, and she's not a mundane

You took pity on father when the demon pox took him and made me kill him!

I was trying to kill him, you just got there first. And who was it who stuck by him?

I didn't want to betray my family. You were siding with the enemy!

I wouldn't exactly call that sentimental

No, just plain foolishness

If you hadn't left father and taken refuge at the institute you may never have met Cecily

I may well have. She's an awfully bright girl with a good taste in men if I do say so myself. We would have found each other eventually

You need to show me your painting now! Come on!

Alright *shows painting*

Is that a squirrel or a fox or...

Its a wolf, a werewolf to be exact

Ah, you always did favor the moons children over the blood suckers and the Fae

As do you brother

Well, as always your painting is unorigionable and barley identifiable

Is identifiable even a word?

Actually identifiable was what autocorrect put, so...

Autocorrect? What on earth is that?

That's for another chapter Gabriel, you will learn of the wonders of the technological age eventually

Goodness, look at you and your long illegible words

Nice try at using advanced vocabulary Gabriel, but it just isn't your area of experties

Who did the better painting then?

I say my painting is a master piece! Yours, however -

Is magnificent! I'll take my winnings now brother!

I was thinking more alomg the lines of an abomination of the worlds artistic qualities, but whatever you wish

So, as you can see from that demonstration, the Lightwoods are magnificent artists!

If you want to be a painter, or even attempt to exercise your talents, we suggest you just get out there and give it a go!

The worst that can happen is that it looks as bad as Gideons mess of a painting

Hey!

Bye!
