At dVerse De is hosting the Quadrille (44 words) with an invitation to write about chalk.
dVerse Poets – Quadrille – Chalk It Up To Poetry

“A drawing is simply a line going for a walk.” Paul Klee
Drawn On Love He looked at her long recognising the stirrings deep within, he took his pastels and stroked the paper gently eliciting form as felt, but something lacked, and his movements became more urgent, frustrated with his chalky lines he stopped and reached out, touching her.

What a fabulous quote from Klee! LOVE it.
I hope the artist had permission from the muse. If so, this has a pleasing, slow sensuality to it.

Good question, I think they know each other, nonetheless he is lost in his passion.

Reaching out doesn’t seem very polite, but sometimes you need that hands on experience.

I love crossing from virtual into the real here. Chalk on a canvas, words on a screen, can only take you so far.

Yes, subject/object relations again, until you experience something it is always abstract in my view, many thanks Lisa.

Interesting artistic dilemma: to capture the model’s essense on the canvas or to possess her physically?
