The Magic Painting

"It was the brightness that attracted me to the painting. I could see the light through the sheet. I grabbed the sheet and threw it to the side. I quickly covered my eyes with my hands. It was too bright. I reached my hand through the painting and quickly I jolted back. It felt hot. The mist covered my hands.

My hand was pale and I thought about jumping in, but would my mum miss me if I couldn't go back through the painting?"

Often in class we use amazing pictures as 'seeds' for our writing sprints and story planning. This snippet by Kaleb was inspired by an amazing picture called 'The Journey Begins' by Daniel Lieske.
