“Thank you, sir,” the gas station attendant said as he handed me my
change. I took the paper cup of coffee and beef jerky from the counter and
nodded at him. I noticed the tattooed artwork on his arms and had to make a
comment.
“That’s amazing art,” I said and tilted my chin towards his forearm. It was
of a dove sitting on an intricate, wooden-looking cross. Sunbeams filtered
behind the cross, making it stand out and look almost three-dimensional.
The cashier’s grin grew, and his chest puffed out with pride. “Thanks,
man. My buddy has a shop that’s not far from here if you want to get any
ink.”
“I don’t have any tattoos, but my sons do, and I enjoy the art. Plus, I’m
just passing through.”
“I hope you’re heading south. There was a bad tornado up north, and I
know roads are closed everywhere.”
“That’s actually where I’m heading. My son’s fiancée lives in one of the
towns that was hit, and I want to check on her.”
“Which town is that?” a customer behind me in line asked.
“Riverbend.”
“Oh, man. I heard there were several deaths and lots of injuries there,” the
same customer commented before he pulled out his cell phone. “I know that
the main highway closest to the town is closed, but if you look here, you
can take these back roads. I also know these areas were affected.”
I took notes about the best way to go and thanked the man.
“She’s in my prayers,” the cashier said with genuine concern.
“Thank you.”
I got back into my pickup truck and sighed. I hadn’t thought about my
love for art in a long time. There was a time I had wanted to have my own
art gallery or be an art teacher to see the passion students had for art. I
actually met my amazing wife, Susan, in ceramics class during our senior
year in high school. She wasn’t the most creative but had to have something
for her fine arts credits and heard it was a fun class.
I really got to know her
when I would help her at the pottery wheel and show her how to mold the
clay. She would always tell me how talented I was. Eventually, she admitted
that she signed up for ceramics just to get to know me better. Our families
were friends, and they were very excited when we began dating soon after
her confession to me.
As I drove north, my hands itched to find a paint brush to replicate the
cashier’s tattoo on canvas. Sue would love it and probably hang it
somewhere in our house. It had been years since I had picked up a
paintbrush. For a long time, I would tell the kids I was in the garage
working on cars but was actually painting in the back room of the shop.
When the boys got old enough to help me around the shop, I began to paint
less and less and would teach them how to work on cars.
