Clara tapped her paintbrush against her chin, studying the canvas. The sunlight streamed through the studio window, illuminating the dust motes dancing in the air. She had poured her heart and soul into her paintings, each stroke carefully considered. Her painting style, a blend of realism and vibrant abstraction, was a personal invention.

She found the gallery flyer in the mailbox. It was an exhibition of "Modern Masters," featuring a painter whose style was identical to hers. A wave of shock hit her, making her briefly breathless.

She went to the gallery, and she found a huge crowd. As she looked at the painting, her heart skipped a beat, but the exhibition was beautiful. The artwork stood on its own merit. She wasn't angry, not really. She could finally have something she had always wanted – time for herself.
