[It's Art Time with Neal Caffrey again, castle. He's bored out of his mind, so he's taken to sketching something in the journal. It doesn't seem like much at first, but eventually it will start to take the shape of this.

He was always a little partial to Degas.

He gets about halfway through, before there's a small frustrated noise and he scribbles a quick filter.]

[dictated - people who can take him outside]

Is there a chance that any of you are up for a walk?

[Neal is feeling a bit restless]

[For the most part, Carolina sticks pretty close, mostly so he doesn't get suddenly sent back to the Castle, lingering at a couple pieces every now and then to try soaking up some feelings from the work.]

[Stops in front of one of the new pieces, and tips his head to the side as he studies it]

[Watching him, Carolina tries to to figure out how he's studying the painting. Maybe she's not doing it right, maybe there's some technical factor that she's missing.]

Neal.

[glances over, with a small smile]

You like this one?

[youfallback]

It feels different from the others. [Which is the truth, as it stirs up a whole different set of emotions in her, but she'd rather get his opinion on the matter.] What about you?

[nods]

Definitely. You can tell that the artist is trying to convey something specific.

[Carolina pauses at Neal's words, slowly piecing together what he means. The use of particular colors had seemed odd to her before, but with that new insight, the painting seems to come to life.]

Think I see what you mean.

See? Art isn't that hard. Just a matter of looking at it the right way.
