All art is quite useless

"Every portrait that is painted with feeling is a portrait of the artist, not of the sitter. The sitter is merely the accident, the occasion. It is not he who is revealed by the painter; it is rather the painter who, on the coloured canvas, reveals himself."

     —- ∰   Early in the morning, but she’s already knocking on his door.

[hallwxrd]

         The painter is barely dressed but he             thinks little of it, assuming that the             knocking is only the mailman or someone             of that nature. Though opening the             door his cheek quickly flush with color            " Wha- What are you doing here?"

Tenderness and kindness are not signs of weakness and despair, but manifestations of strength and resolution.

                “A fine philosophy as any. I’m of the same school                            of thought myself. I have found, however,                            that despite that nugget of good buried                             away, some refuse to allow you to bring it                            out. A shame, really…”

    " I try not to dwell on it too much.         Our world is beautiful, at least in         my eyes, if that beauty is only an         illusion let it be so. If I can be         content with simply that I see no         need to dig any farther."

       ’ Oh, thank you          thank you, sir. ’

             the teen gave the older man a warm, albeit              shy smile. brushing a hand through strawberry              blond hair, he stepped a small bit closer, curious              about the other. he held out a delicate hand,              offering it out to shake while he introduced himself.

                           ’ My name is Kieren Walker. ’

[hallwxrd]

        Taking the offered hand, the older smiled            kindly giving his hand a brief shake in greeting,          " Basil Hallward, a pleasure to make your            acquaintance."  He found himself at a loss            for words after his introduction, he feared he            was terribly bad at them, and did not posses            the talent of easy conversation, " This is            quite an achievement for one so young,"

                      “They’re pretty, I’ll give you that… But then,                               ill-tempered things often are, aren’t                               they? At least that’s what I’ve come                               to understand.”

[hallwxrd]

    " No, I understand the fact quite well myself.          I suppose that is the curse when your inspiration          and being depends on beauty, though I would          like to believe that even the most ill-tempered          things have good in them."

" A curious sensation of terror came over me. I knew that I had come face to face with some one whose mere personality was so fascinating that, if I allowed it to do so, it would absorb my whole nature, my whole soul, my very art itself. "
