When I asked Teague what was over the painting
he said that it was the sign that goes with it;
and when I asked why he put it
above the painting rather
than beside it, Teague
replied with a
statement
worthy of
Picasso:
   "Grampa Bruce, it's a painting;
you can do anything."
-Teague McMillan, age 9,

I always hear the voice of Grandson Teague when I paint. -Bruce
