The Skills of an Artist

Hello, little girl, my name is The Artist. Because I am The Artist, I create pictures. This is, you might say, my ancient profession, yes. Pictures, they are what I create. And painting, that is how I make them, and I call them "paintings".

Little girl, these words might not fit okay inside your head, but fear nothing! Our oeconomy being this primitive, we basically just use you to fetch water and shit, any-way.

But! You must remember that I am The Artist! And, since I am The Artist, I draw pictures, very very slowly. If you draw something, you might go at, say, average speed, but this this is Holland Many Years Back, and since I am The Artist, I must create the painting very very slowly, and using, eh, how you say, a very, eh, slow speed.

Yes, I am The Artist, and I will be creating you as Girl With A Pearl Earring, but only very very slowly, gradually, and using a rather slow speed. You accept this, little girl, you, eh, sit still, and, additionally, we please ask, that, perhaps you try to be as boring as possible, just the way I do for you.

After all, we would not want them to think that this Dutch land, it becomes feisty, eh? No, not in these ancient times.

And, with these sayings being downloaded this successfully, we are now almost ready to begin the process of very-slowness.

Oh, okay, fine, let him in; I am practically a priest myself.

P.S. Don't bother with Flaubert, either.
