“James! You're just in time. What do you think?”

James paused as he looked at Steff's latest painting and, from her expression, her pride and joy.

He tilted his head as he considered it carefully. He knew what it looked like to him: Steff had thrown several tins of paint at the canvas, before she'd fallen on top of it and slipping over several times as she'd tried to stand up again.

What the hell was he supposed to say about it?

But he did know asking what the hell it was supposed to be would not go down well.

could be worse, lester - it could look like she had vommitted up paint...or she had covered herself in wet paint and rolled on the canvas. (no, that was later, I'm sure)

seriously, this is an excellent drabble.
" unlike Steff's grasp of art. :) "

excuse my muses, please; they're allergic to drabbles.

this is really, really very good.
