Artistic Temperament




    "I have been looking forward to this for a long time, mon cher. To capture your exquisite beauty on canvas! I get goose bumps just thinking about it! Just keep still, s'il vous plaît. Mon Dieu! Keep still! How can I be expected to work under these conditions? You have a beautiful face but you need to remain still so I can paint it, no? Again with the fidgeting! PTOO!!! I spit upon your unfinished portrait! I never want to see your fidgety face again!"
    The artist smashed the mirror and stamped away from his self portrait in disgust.
