Sura ... The Love of a Legend

Description




    There’s a loneliness that only exists in one’s mind.  The loneliest moment in someone’s life is when they are watching their whole world fall apart, and all they can do is stare blankly.

—F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby

 

Spartacus :  "You still believe in your gods?"

Sura :  "Yes."

Spartacus :  "Why?"

Sura :  "Our entire village is gone; everyone we know .. dead.  If there are no gods, nothing to shape what happens in our lives, then there is no meaning to any of it.  I cannot believe the gods would lead me to you, to bless me with such love, only to make me bear witness to your suffering.  NO!.. there is a deeper purpose to the path you have been set upon .. one that has yet to reveal itself."

Spartacus :  "I would never see you away from my side again.  Without you there is no reason for breath."

Sura :  "There is always a reason to live."

Spartacus :  "I would be lost."

Sura :  "The gods would set you on the proper path.  All you have to do is close your eyes and place yourself in their hands.  The path will reveal itself."




Notes from September 3, 2011 :


Have you ever encountered a painting which stares out into your heart from a century long past?  I am fascinated by such encounters.

I returned to the portrait of Sura, the wife of Spartacus, last night and endeavored to create a a new portrayal which conveyed a sense of the feeling which comes across to me from such living paintings.   Above is the result of that endeavor.

I prefer to work late at night with these 3D portraits.  I stay with an portrayal until someone begins to look out at me from the screen.  If no such meeting occurs I simply quit and delete the unfinished files .. to await another night and another opportunity for connection.  Last night was kind to me and no yearning was left unsatisfied.


I wish you an inspired and pleasurable Valentine's!  May you taste an essence of what legendary love can be.


With warm shadows & deep firelight,

Terry
