I'm also interested to know how the painter lost his inspiration for four years, and what more the girl will provide in the story. I like this very much! You should continue.

Rather interesting developments with the interaction between the man and the girl. I'm starting to wonder where you're going with this, but I'll be content to just sit and wait.

The protagonist's malady intrigues me. What could have given him a four-year-long case of creator's block, of ennui, of absence? And the dream, very perturbing. I look forward to see what more you have cooked up.

I think this is a really interesting and original story idea. Your summary really pulled me in and got me reading. There are a number of really good lines in here that are very poetic. I wish you would have gone even further with some of them, though, and developed them. I think it would really add to the story. Great work. -Micah

Interesting. . . And as artists, we've all had this happen to us, no doubt.

Have you ever read "Diary", by Chuck Palahniuk? Your protagonist almost reminds me of Misty, in a way.

I look forward to seeing where this story goes. Your metaphors and allusions are spot on

This is a wonderfull start to a storie. I'm really interested in what will happen next so start finishing it up please because I want to read it.

I'm very excited about this one. So, you'll be my friend because I reviewed this? Awesome. At any rate, I really like what you have so far, and I can't wait to see where it goes. I'm also curious to see if the little girl makes another appearance or not. I'm very curious. I really hope you have at least some of a chapter three to bring tonight to the DA!

You're off to a nice start I think. I don't know why this is a thriller just yet, hopefully I'll see more of your vision later. Keep writing^_^

Wow...very interesting concept for a story...I really enjoyed this first chapter, I feel bad for the main character...his view points are beautiful how he doesn't make the elaborate, pretty things in his paintings...that the world supplies it's beauty for his inspiration...the scene with the lil girl sitting next to him on the bench was cute but I feel bad for the main character...that he's so detached...keep writing!

I like it. I'll keep an eye out for the next chapter.
