Francis Alexander, for instance, born in Connecticut in 1800, a farm boy and afterwards a school teacher, never attempted painting until he was over twenty. Then one day, having caught a pickerel, its beauty reminded him of a box of water-colors a boy had left him, and he attempted to paint the fish, with such success that he was filled with amazement and delight.
Here the river makes a shining twist, which a painter might have invented, and the side of the hill is terraced into several ledges, a sort of tangle of small blooming patches and little pavillions with peaked roofs and green shutters. It is idle to attempt to reproduce all this in words; it should be reproduced only in water-colors.

Millicent looked up at Lisle, indicating a small easel, a bulky sketch-book, and a box of water-colors.
"I have a fine blank book, every page ruled, that will be just the thing," responded Rose, "and I will help you write it. I can draw a little, and I have a box of water-colors.

According to the general verdict, she was equally successful in oils and water-colors.

These rough efforts of her pencil happened to come under Judge Sharp's observation, and he who never forgot the smallest thing that could make others happy, brought her some brushes and a box of water-colors from the city. True genius requires but little encouragement, and most frequently develops itself against opposition.
An oblong, green volume, secured by an elastic band; contains sketches in pencil and water-colors; value uncertain Good. And the accused ... would Monsieur also be pleased to describe the person of the accused? His probable age, for instance; his height; the color of his hair, eyes, and beard? Good again. Lastly, Monsieur's own name and address, exactly and in full. Très-bon.
