A word prompt to get your creativity flowing this weekend. How you use the prompt is up to you. Write a piece of flash fiction, a poem, a chapter for your novel…anything you like. Or take the challenge below – there are no prizes – it’s not a competition but rather a fun writing exercise. If you want to share what you come up with, please leave a link to it in the comments. Thanks, always, to Sammi for this challenge.
The Model
“Pose for me,” the artist demanded.
“But, I’ve never—”
“No experience needed. I will guide you.”
Before she knew it, she was in his studio, dressed in a robe, one shoulder and leg exposed ~ his.
For weeks she sat, felt his touch as he adjusted her robe, listened to his voice, watched him work.
The sculpture done, she marvelled that he had captured a part of her she knew not existed.
Q,
The artist, eh? I wonder if he has one of those wall dividers . . .
This was sexy, I dig the back and forth going on between the artist and the model. It sort of has a 50 Shades vibe to it, if 50 Shades was . . . yanno, sexy instead of puff pastry. Yours is how it’s SUPPOSED to look. Mystery, seductive, romantic . . . all about it! And you supplied it in 71 words. Because of course you can.
As for that sculpture? Do you think it was chilly in there? 😉

B,
I’m sure he does…
Love that you thought so… 50 Shades done better is definitely a compliment. I was hoping that would come across. Coz, 71 ain’t a lot of words and I couldn’t go as far as I wanted to…
It mighta been – yanno, to help with the details 😉

He would have to. Every artist worth his or her palette has one.
50 Shades needs to be updated with older folks who really know the what’s what, but that’s just my opinion. It was creepy and not believable. Yours is real world, real sexy goodness.
You went palenty far enough. Leave them wanting more . . isn’t that the saying?
Muy importante. It’s a matter of nipple and tuck with the details . . I mean . . nip and tuck . . of course.

Now there you have an idea… ’bout time there were some stories for the 50+ crowd…
You are right, of course. I guess I was instinctive in my wording 😉

Interesting thought, eh?
I’m serious. That was why I could not stomach 50 Shades. This idea that such a thing was new or crazy? Please. Sexy is the couple that finds it impossible to keep their hands off each other no matter how long they’ve been together. No bells, whistles or whips are needed for that.
I know you 😉

You nailed it, Thunder!
I was an artists’ model in my youth. I know the many feelings of being captured by their talents.
I still have many of the drawings/paintings some (esp. the ones who fell in love with me) gave me.
I had a nude sculpture, but my step mom threw it out years ago.
Le sigh!!!!!

So, after your Sculpture post, I dug up some old art I modelled for.
Serendipity… the paper is very cheap, yellowed, some have moldy spots on them, one began to disintegrate when I picked it up. I taped it just prior to it becoming dust.
At least I have photos of them now! Had you not made that post, they would have been in even worse shape, when & if I thought about them.
They are real art! May I send you a few? I might post them, but I’d like a few opinions first. I’m going to throw it by Holly, too! ⚡️💥

Dear Dale,
Quite the sensual statue and story to go with it. I like the way the artist captured a part of her she didn’t realize before. And just for grins, I’m making it about me and including this link for your reading pleasure. Pretty sure it’s before your time in FF. https://rochellewisoff.com/2014/07/02/4-july-2014/
