Stroke of a Brush
(6/25/14)
SasuSaku Month 2014
Day 1: The Smell of Fresh Paint
She was his muse, the model that gave life to his every creation.
She lay there spread across the futon, her arm resting behind her head as her other arm rest beneath her breasts, and her legs crossed. She reminded him of the Venus of Urbino by Titian, just as seductive, and beautiful.
She was a goddess.
She remained motionless, a perfect smile adorning her lips as she watched him work. Her eyes followed his every stroke of the brush, his every move.
The smell of fresh paint hung in the air, it was a smell he knew well, it's a smell he relates to her. Since the moment he met her, he's never had another model, none could compare to her. It wasn't her unique hair color or physique that made her special, although he couldn't deny it was a good addition; it was the air around her, her eyes, and her smile.
He looked back at the canvas then placing a stroke of green paint, he wished he could capture her as she was and transmit her through his brush. He could only capture so much, because everything that lay hidden behind her eyes was lost on him. It was something he desperately wanted but couldn't grasp.
He kept on working, entranced by her presence, the smell of paint, and her eyes. With every stroke of the brush he would caress her in the only way he knew how. He would love her through his work, expressing everything he couldn't possibly voice out loud in each stroke until there wasn't any doubt.
After all, one should admire a work of art from a safe distance.
He would make her his masterpiece.
