Say Nothing Chapter 8
“We’ll stop by later to chat. I want you to meet Sarah. You will be amazed by her. She is a blind painter. I am not sure how she does what she does but, she is absolutely amazing. Her husband is Jeff and he is a glass blower. They both have some outstanding pieces.” Bette realized that she was along for the show. She was so overwhelmed that she found herself in an unusual place, lost for words.
As they walk upon a young man and woman sitting in the shade of a tree Tina called out. “Sarah”
“Tina, my friend. You grace us with your presence.” Her eyes nor head move in the direction of the sound. She is painting and she uses her head and her free hand as guides. Jeff stands to greet Tina and embraces her fondly. “Tina, it is so good to see you.”
“It’s good to see you both. I brought a friend. This is Bette Porter, she is a gallery owner in California.” Tina gestured to Bette who held out her hand for Jeff to shake.
“Pleased to meet you Ms. Bette Porter. What brings you to France?”
“A little work and a little play.” Bette replied.
Tina looked at her and felt a smile crease her lips.
Bette could feel herself being drawn to the painting beginning to take shape.
“Sarah, may I share your story with Bette.” Tina asked before explaining the artist before them.
“Sure, but it is really kind of boring Bette.” Sarah giggled. This scene had obviously played out several time before.
Tina went on to explain the accident that took Sarah’s eyesight at the age of 16, how she had been a painter previous to her accident, how she met Jeff in college in New York and how they found themselves in this beautiful place.
Bette stood in stunned silence as she listened to Jeff describe the surroundings and Sarah’s brush strokes painted them on the canvas. She had never been privy to such an intimate dialogue between artists. The beauty of Jeff’s words evoked the mastery of Sarah’s work.
Bette was having trouble again, finding the words to describe her emotions. She was absolutely overwhelmed by their artistry. Both in the spoken word and the painting.

What an enchanting chapter! You really made us visualize all the beautiful details that surrounds Tina’s life. While she shared her world with Bette, including her friends, it made Bette understand Tina’s reluctance to leave everything behind. We loved Tina’s self confidence and how she can be on the same high standard levels that Bette has. Hmmm We surely did enjoy this marvellous update. Can’t wait to have more.
