Ink/Beauty

What was that?
There it was again. Wonder when it'll flash again. It looked strangely familiar. Out window. Back to pad. Dab paintbrush, smear colors inside inky perimeter.
Dab, drip, smear.
Blue, purple, green.
Cool colors for drawing/painting. Woman with cool-colored dress. Three colors, all mixed. Purple is more pronounced in chest area; green by belly and blue at bottom. No heels, just bare feet.
Curly red hair, apricot face.
Dab, drip, smear.
Snack. Continue.
Dab, drip.
No, no more cool colors. Background. What to do for background? Her arms down sides; head and chin up, looking direct. Right foot forward, like pharoah. What background?
Ballroom. She's striding toward man to dance. There are others dancing around but are unimportant.
There it was again.
A speck. A light. What was it?
Continue brainstorming ballroom.
Gold, gold, gold. Marble floors. Stone columns. Frescoed arched ceilings. Chandeliers. Renaissance inspired? Yes.
Dab, drip, smear.
Gold, gold, gold.
Speck. Light. Two specks. Light. Three. Twinkling. Vision must be impaired but no alcohol. No sense.
Dab, drip, smear.
Dancers appear but blurry. Woman is center of attention. Show man about to take hand? No. No detraction from center.
Dab, drip, smear.
Marble floor appears. White, tan, brown mixed and swirled. Stone columns appear. Connect with arches. Ceiling like gridded dome frescoes. Details of frescoes blurry. No detraction from center.
Dab, drip, smear.
Finished. Done. Complete.
Woman looking direct in blue-green-purple dress. Brought out by inky pen origin that separates from rest of paint. Beautiful.
Sign name with black paint small-ly in bottom right corner.
Bathroom now. Open door. Enter. Use. Open door. Still drying hands with towel while walking out.
Room different. No easel, no pad, no paint.
Drop towel.
White-tan-brown swirly floor. Stone columns. Grid dome ceiling with arches. Blurry frescoes.
Step, step.
Blurry dancers dancing.
Rub eyes. Step, step.
Then see apricot feet. No heels. Blue dress that turns green then purple at top. Lovely breasts. Beautiful skin. Curly red hair.
She holds out hand.
Gulp. Rub eyes. Step, step. She pulls hand.
Suddenly twisting, turning and twirling woman following 3-4 music like waltz. Waltz not renaissance. Why waltz? Dance anyway. Twist, turn, twirl. Step, step, step.
Only focused person is woman because of inky perimeter. Everything else: unfocused and slighty blurry. No details. No details matter.
No detraction from center.
Stop dancing. She places hands on eyes. Black.
When see again, no paint on pad.
Only black ink on white pad.
Only woman.
Only beauty.
