Chapter 379
"What a load of hogwash!" The middle-aged man suddenly scolded loudly. "This is a downright disrespect to Ms. Mirabelle. You folks are going off half-cocked. You should apologize to Ms. Mirabelle right away."
The head of security immediately dropped his gaze, apologizing to the middle-aged man and Mirabelle. He explained that even though the idea wasn’t his brainchild, he needed to shoulder the blame.
"Ms. Mirabelle, I’m sorry for the misconduct of my team," the middle-aged man said, shaking hands with Rosemary and expressing his deep apology.
"Your interpretation of the artwork is spot-on. I thought you’d use conventional symbols to denote longevity and peace, but you chose such a unique path. It’s really striking and top-notch!"
In this painting, there were two special birds, a species native only to eastern countries. The long tail feathers of the birds looked like ribbons, and they had the longest lifespan among small birds. Hence, they symbolized longevity.
The two birds were flying through the clouds, their motions intricately depicted. Every element in the painting, be it the birds, the landscapes, or the flora, came to life under Rosemary’s brush, captivating the viewer.
"There are many good painters in the art world, but no one can compare to you when it comes to capturing the hardest elements of form and essence."
Other artists’ works either lacked depth in the ambiance or didn’t adequately represent the form. But Rosemary was hailed as a master of oriental painting art, not only because she brought a fresh style to the art form, but also because each of her works had a distinct personal touch. Crucially, she could capture the hard-to-grasp essence and form in her art. This exquisite skill was beyond the average artist.
"Ms. Mirabelle, could I ask for your autograph?" A middle-aged man, looking like a fanboy, gazed expectantly at Rosemary.
"Sure," Rosemary replied calmly. "Where should I sign?"
"Here," the man said, opening a cherished notebook he carried with him and handing it over with both hands.
