a little piece of your heart stays with your art
The time has come for Hunter to finally get his completed sculpture shipped out of his house. He had been putting it off for nearly a month now. The sculpture was finished just before Christmas, which had given him some time to sent some hand-made Christmas gifts out to his friends.
He had a pretty relaxing Christmas in general, just tiding up around the house because marble dust had seemed to get everywhere. Plus using a marble wax to put a protective shine over the completed art work. Hunter was pretty happy with how the statue had turned out -- each of the three different animal heads looked like they were about to attack. The body itself was in a protective pose, leaving it up to those who viewed it if the Chimera statue was protecting something, or was just on the attack without reason.
Hunter didn't know why it had taken him so long to make arrangements for the statue to be moved out of his apartment and into a gallery, to be shown to the public. After all, the statue itself was quite bulky, and took up a lot of space in his little studio apartment. But there was a piece of his heart attached to the statue, and so perhaps the extra time was needed for Hunter to make peace about what inspired the statue, and where he was now in his life.
A knock on the door signaled the commissioned movers, who would be taking the statue out of his apartment and to the gallery. The one good thing about PINpoints was that Hunter could get the statue moved out of a portal, instead of having to worry about removing any doors to get the large statue out of his apartment.
He watched carefully as they covered the statue, and made the final preparations to move it through the portal into the awaiting gallery. He took a deep breath as they left with it.
The apartment seemed emptier without it... but at the same time, there was still lots of inspiration around him for future art projects. Hunter felt fortunate that he had found the Nexus, the friends he had made since arriving there, and how far he had come as an artist, and a person in general. It was a good feeling. And he felt confident that this would be a good year.
