And Visual Arts..by Michael

10 Years Ago


Mark attended the school of visual arts instead of going to college. They had a wide variety of courses of advertising, photography, graphic design, life drawing, etc..etc.. His strong point and talent was exceptional in his study of life drawing. Straight A's followed him in his three year stay there. One particular oil painting he did of a live female nude model was his best work and it was displayed in the schools gallery for all to see and admire. Mark took it home with him after graduating with honors. It was hung on his living room wall in a proud display. Eventually it was sold to a well known art museum. Four years later he visited that same museum and stared up at his most talented work of art. The lady next to him said "you know, I was the model who posed for that painting". Mark introduced himself to Marilyn and said to her, "I was the student who put you on that canvas". They smiled and laughed at the same time as this strange coincidence had them be there together. His painting was up for auction as Mark was the highest bidder. He brought it home and hung it back up on his living room wall. Marilyn sat next to him on the couch as they held hands and kissed. His talent didn't go to waste as the entire cover of their wedding album was created by him. A self portrait of the bride and groom which they treasured forever....Maybe talent expresses itself at a fateful meeting at a museum. Case in point in a short love story about a painter, a model, and visual arts.....
