My grandparents had this picture in their house that I loved as a child. It was an oil painting, I think, and it was of a young black girl, her back to the artist, leaning against a fence in a field. She was wearing a white, sleeveless shirt and blue pants, her hair in cornrows. It was, well, serene is probably a good word for it. I used to love looking at that painting.

My grandmother left it to this woman who had been her house-cleaner when I was very young, because she had always liked it, which was, of course, a nice thing to do, but sometimes I wish I still had that painting. I was sitting here at the computer thinking, 'Maybe I can Google it,' but I wouldn't even know where to begin. I don't know the artist's name, when it was done, anything. All I have is the memory of it, like a memory of an old friend.

And now I wish I could remember the name of the woman who got the painting. She always seemed to be ancient to me, and I was always shy around her, even though she was nothing but kind to me. I remember going with my grandmother to drive her home, and playing with the several daschhounds she had. She had an unusual name...that's really going to bug me now.
