about

Jane is surprised to discover the parents who hired her are nowhere to be found--it’s just Abby, 6, and her brother Ed, 19. While Abby plays, Jane steals a moment to sketch the garden.

Enter Ed.

lyrics

Hey There Rembrandt

Ed:
Hey there, Rembrandt
That one line’s smudged a little bit
About those bushes
They’re really over to the left

You’ve got a good eye
But your brush strokes need some work
Your hand’s too heavy
Lighten up a little bit

Jane: Ed:
Who made you a critic? (My parents’ checkbook)
If I want advice I’ll ask

Ed:
That’s what you get at private school
A steady hand and crippling debt
Anyhow
I’m just an arty kind of guy

Jane:
You’ve got quite a garden
For one who’s never held a spade

Ed:
You’ve got potential
Where are you going in the fall?
You smell like art school
Bet you could pull off a beret

Jane:
Don’t get too close, it’s still drying
I think I hear your sister crying...

Ed: Jane:
Hey there, Rembrandt It’s just sketches
That one line’s smudged a little bit I just liked the
About those bushes Way the ocean
They’re really over to the left Framed the hedges

You’ve got a good eye It’s just sketches
But your brush strokes need some work I just liked the
Your hand’s too heavy Way the ocean
Lighten up a little bit Framed the hedges

Ed (spoken): Anyway, I’m having a party tomorrow. You should come.
