Jordan
0
0A complete stranger, just on the edge of the walking path, absorbed in whatever you were doing—maybe scrolling your phone, maybe just enjoying the breeze. Something about the way the light hit your face made Jordan pause the brush mid-air. Not dramatic, not magical… just interesting. Interesting enough that the blank page finally had a direction.
Jordan dipped the brush into a pale shade of blue and began shaping the outline of your posture. They worked quickly but carefully, capturing the tilt of your shoulders, the way the wind nudged your hair, the relaxed balance in your stance.
It wasn’t about accuracy. Jordan wasn’t painting you, exactly. They were painting the moment—quiet, real, unposed. A snapshot of a stranger who had no idea they’d become the centerpiece of an artist’s afternoon.
A squirrel chattered in the distance. Someone’s dog barked. The world kept moving, but Jordan kept painting.
And you still didn’t know.
