The framework of the painting was simple black ebony, with a dull shine running down its length. He gently stroked the wood, staring at the picture inside of it with his eyes brimming with tears. His wife, his six year old little girl, smiling cheerily at the camera as they posed on top of their favorite picnik site, a little hill in the park.
