“When I was a young boy my mother let me paint the back wall of the house, but only as long as I used water instead of paint. As I painted the stuccoed wall with the water, to my great delight it caused the wall to darken, glisten and shine. It changed all the time depending on the sunlight. I desperately needed to share this with my mother… Look! Look! Ma. Quick! Quick! before it dries. It was a restless performance and the timing was crucial… to get the wall wet, the sun to shine and my mother to come out from behind the wall, all at the same time. It was difficult, but when it all came together, it felt Great! and I soon needed to do it all over again.” ~Lennon
