MINNIE: That's right. Your work. Stick to it.

MRS STARR: You have-- Do you have anything now to do oil painting on?

MINNIE: Oh, yes, I have a-- I got a canvas in there now--

MRS STARR: Good.

MINNIE: --that I can start. But I think it's a little bit too large. It's kind of real large. I will get me a couple of those small paintings when I go up there. If I can. I might just keep on these right here. Because when I think about I'm going on an oil painting, these pictures here appeal to me.

MRS STARR: I see.

MINNIE: So--if I have what I drempt about to paint, I haven't started. Ha-ha! What I drempt of those paintings! The whole house, just as far as I could see, they was standing all on the ground, all up side the trees--pictures! Then, when I have those dreams, the earth is yellow. Isn't that funny? Everything I look at is yellow. Now wonder what that would mean. Wonder what that would be a sign of, this yellow, you reckon, come from? You reckon it come from--be something of China?

MRS STARR: Well, sometimes--once--

MINNIE: Countries?

MRS STARR: -- you said it was all rainbow colors.

MINNIE: Oh, yes, yes. Oh, I do have a lot of rainbow colors, too. That why I get them. But then the biggest, when it comes out, it's yellow, and then off on the sides a little glaze of blue and goldish and part--but the biggest of it is yellow.
