Crucifixion

“Are you ready?” I asked, pressing the point of the sharp steel into the palm of his right hand

Now that..That was beautiful.

It certainly was. Shall I take a bow?

It's an old form of punishment amongst our kind, you know. Disobedient Children of Darkness were often crucified.

I think you both should take a bow.

It should be a painting.  Had I the skill I'd paint it.

No I was not aware that crucifixion was a form of punishment among your kind.  That is interesting.  I knew the ancient Romans did it to their criminals but I was not aware vampires adopted it.

You have skill in both art and photography. I've seen it. If it inspires you to paint, then paint it.

Vampires have adopted many things from human cultures. Crucifixion has always been a personal favourite. I thank you for the reminder.

Thank-you ☺ I'm not quite Van Gogh with a brush yet..Or Chase Jarvis with a camera but I do ok.  It's mostly a hobby something to relax me and de-stress.  Perhaps I'll sketch it out on the weekend and see how it turns out then maybe paint it.

You're most welcome for the reminder.  Few appreciate the fine art of punishment these days.

Why compare yourself to anyone else? You have your own unique style. I look forward to seeing this creation of yours.

Punishment is a fine art, isn't it? There are those of our kind who become masters at it.

Unique yes.  It's unique.  You won't find it in any posh art gallary however.  They hang good art there.  Bad art doesn't usually go beyond the sketch book.  But I will try to do this one some justice.

I have difficulty in painting exactly what my mind envisions.  My mind envisions a masterpiece my skill at best gives a poor representation of what is actually in the mind.

But I'll try.
