For The Season



He stared at the canvas for what seemed like ages.

Create an artwork, he was asked, that encapsulated love. For the season and all.

He could paint famous battles, he could paint fantasy landscapes, he could go to the furthest points of the galaxy. But love? That threw him.

He kept starting a painting, he tried painting a couple in love, a family, a carnal act… None of it gave him the deep seated emotional response he knew meant a good picture. He just didn’t feel any of them.

So in the end, he settled on his true love.

Himself.
