She’s headed back from Plein Air class, which was already a disaster because of the rain, when she trips - slips, rather - on the still-wet curb of the sidewalk and faceplants into the asphalt. Her things spill into the waterlogged curb, soaking the wooden case in the greasy water, particularly her still wet panel, now facedown in the water. With scraped skin and flourish of obscenities, she pulls the painting back out - as if it was any use. The watercolor is now more of a dirty looking water ombre, and to make it worse, this is when a car swings around the curve, hitting a pothole and splashing her bent form with even more nasty water.
“Oh fuck you-!”
