Locked Leap

Is it love or trust, mutual desire or strong will that ejects entwined bodies into the unknown from the springboard of impulsiveness? Arched in firm embrace and defying norms of life they leap forth with passion filled in search of fulfillment. A moment so intense magnetic, unrestrained, where the movement flows along radiating hidden brutal strength, and yet, so graceful to behold. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [Note: After attending the inauguration of Caesar Attard’s art exhibition at the National Museum of Fine Arts, Valletta, Malta. This is about his painting called "Locked Leap".] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Contest: Screwed III Sponsor: Rob Carmack Placed 3rd

I am so pleased that you found this write inspirational and romantic. It's not my usual mellow touch, but sometimes I branch out into something different; this painting asked for a slightly more raw approach. // I too have been busy; final proof reading of a book which will be published some time in March. // paul

Paul Callus

So glad you can picture it in your mind, Demi, for the painting itself is not on internet, so it would be just about impossible for you to come across it. Thank you for the lovely comments my friend! // paul
