Studio
Genburg's towers have long been sleeping in midnight fog, when the master finished his miniature sculpture with azure eyes...
He added in the mosaic some golden grains; to give glass eyes expression with warmth of the sun rays...
(It was the figure of page-boy)...
He put the new liver in the kingdom (in situ; in boudoir, near the young maid of honor)... Then put out the candles and lay down on the bed - to admire midnight haze...
He was lying and looking to foggy glass dome and was listening to the sound of the sea...
The sea was not in the spirit of since morning: was not finding a place: seething, splashing, fussing between heaven and earth...
(As if could not decide: stay on earth or climb up into the heavens)...
He was thinking of the sea:
To feel smell of washed bright rocks with brine, of gently swinging algaes under the waves...
To feel on the face freshness of spring breeze...
He was thinking of the sun:
To feel smell of sizzling hot sandy beach, of the July grain field, of ripe apples...
To envision jumping sunbeams throughout the body...
He was thinking...
As soon as he noticed a low light (afar, above the fog and clouds) already was thinking of dawn:
To envision as this is filling him with sunrise with gulls cry, with smell of baking from bakery...
To envision as will be repainting all around with sunny gold...
And if day will be cloudy, then air will be blue-gray (light blue-gray)...
Maybe... it will rain...
And will glistening of the rain houses, trees, roads (to the coast) will glisten all around...
Is it really important: what the weather will be?! - he was thinking...
I like sunny day - the same way as rainy... Or snowy!
I like a fog, soft breeze!
I like whistling and strong gusts of wind!
I like dawning, morning, daytime, noon, evening, night, midnight, after midnight... And twilight I like!
Is it possible to like everything and all without exception to like?! - he was thinking...
This is anormal!
Perhaps... anormal is if don't like something?!
Perhaps... I like the variety...
Indeed... I like the variety - he was thinking...
If all the time will be a sunny day... how I may love a sunny day?!
(If I will not even know, that it's a sunny day)...
Or rainy:
if all the time will be a rainy day... it will be not a rainy day, but simple day just like any other!
Probably so I like all the colors (all of them), all equally I like!
Probably... because... I like variety - he was thinking...
He liked to think...
He liked to think in silence... and listen night sleeping - without human voices...
(At this time it seems, that he is all alone in this vast world; nobody around)...
He liked!
And then... sounds of waking town... Bit by bit... Mixed voices, then here and there...
And this he liked!
Of the glass domed ceiling lavishly was pouring lily dawn; filling with itself every millimeter of space...
(Studio was becoming more spacious and brighter)...
In the light of place was more like a medieval - mini gallery, than a studio of craftsman:
The high entrance door (as well as the walls), on both sides, were entirely painting...
In center stood the broad, combined desktop with chairs in form armchairs and semi-oval, high backs of chairs also were covered with drawings...
In the background showed off two large screens:
One of them covering lumber-room (there on the shelves were neatly laid out tools and working material with sundries)...
And behind other screen was arranged small - sleeping area...
The screens, as well as partition between warehouse and bedroom (both sides) also were painted...
On the right, across all the wall, were hung pictures and on the contrary on the wide shelves laid the compositions of sculptures...
The studio was like a huge book with huge illustrations... Each drawing was like a continuation of the others... and everyone in general were telling a wonderful story...
Created the impression, that the painting even was embodied in the sculptures, that to admire at itself in three dimensions!
All around: every detail, every little thing, as if everything was a part of a biggest, magical composition... some unearthly beauty...
Mr. Miles would be standing dumbstruck because of what he saw - if hadn't come to the senses of hearing a knock on the door!
Mayor's children stood before him: Lovell, Kend and Blanche...
- Good afternoon, Mr. Miles!
We take drawing lessons from the master, but already three months we come every day and he is not here!
Don't you know - what happened to him could happen?
And what will be to the studio, if he doesn't come back?
Mom promised to buy all these works! - Lovell said...
- They're not just the things, they're living!
They breathe, are happy or sad... Now they are sad and confused, very confused! - Lovell said, viewing the figure of page-boy...
- Do you think, that stuffs, even the greatest... may be alive?! - Mr. Miles smiled...
- Of course not, in the literal sense!
For me it is so, not for everyone!
For me they are alive! - Lovell said, carefully placing the sculpture in situ...
- For us! - Kend clarified...
- His making are not for sale - they are priceless!
Master's place will be waiting for his master!
He will be back if he'll can...
He would necessarily return to finish his kingdom! - Mr. Miles said...
- And you'll look after the studio, that the residents of this fairy kingdom will not become so sad - he smiled...
- Usual my housekeepers are engaged in renters, but without me they could not decide - what to do with his property... And because I was away - waited for my return...
Who lived here?.
Who was he?
I traveled half the world and I didn't see more amazing that!
- We don't know! - Lovell said...
He never told about himself...
Mom ordered weather vanes, sketches and decors for homestead and she was so fascinated by his talent, that decided: necessary for us to take lessons in drawing and fine arts...
- Was he old?
- No, he's very young... Like the grown up Amur - with eyes the color of gold coins; as if there live two sunbeams...
It's inexplicable, but his eyes are smiling all along... even then - when he is quite serious...
- Of course not!
His eyes as sapphire - like water in Blue Lake! - was surprised Blanche...
All of them stared at Kend...
- His eyes are bright green as emeralds - shrugged Kend...
- Well... object of adoration for everyone seems - each to his own!
Probably, his eyes will seemed to me purple as early violets - musingly smiled Mr. Miles...
Then... sunset was filling the studio with orange blaze, as if nothing had happened...
