I remember reading about Heloise and Abelard long ago - a passionate, compelling love story. This image portrays Heloise in a wonderful way.

I’ve just realized how amazing is your soul. Your image is captivating by itself but the story behind it, and what a story, is so insightful and a critical element of the image. I studied history, it helps me understand the lunacies of modern day politics and society. I still have much to learn; that’s the great thing about studying history...there’s always much to learn.

VIVA Anderson replied:

Dearest Mark, I love how you unexpectedly turn up,and fill my world with light so bright. I,too, study History,especially Romance,sigh. I find the history of the Church too upsetting...so many martyrs!,but,Romance? Abelard/Heloise..yes, adore their story so full of never-ending ,tried and true, love...for eternity....!..I'm so glad and touched by your thoughts,visits,always deep and meaningful to me, from you......Thanks sweet gentle man......always welcome here,to share the 'knowing'.....VIVA

Laurel........oh,I am pleased by your 'lknowing' the Why this is full of contrast, yet not colour.......Brilliant comment! Thank you very much........VIVA

For this Piece of Art and story, the colours could be none other than overlayments of black against white...darkness against light, duality and judgmentalism against Love and Light! The human condition remains largely still unenlightened. It takes many years before one sees Colour! L/F

"Through their famous correspondence of twenty years, their love continues to flourish, in spite of their separation. After many years pass, in a chance meeting, Heloise and Abelard are briefly reunited at a ceremony in Paris. Though they have been physically apart all these years, at last in the sight of the other, the former lovers realize that the love they share is the reason for human existence. As the glorious ceremony begins, they triumphantly promise to remain 'Forever One'.'

If one has a heart AND has been lucky enough to love as these two did, one cannot help but be taken with this. It is I who should be thanking you for moving me, something all artists aspire to do but few actually achieve.

VIVA Anderson replied:

Well, Paul, 'we' artists are 'subject' to the highs, the depths, the lows, or we could not emote thru our need for expression...and these two did it for me, too.....I am so glad to touch your soul, and share my 'knowing' this truth/this story....it is part of my psyche now,V...

VIVA Anderson

VIVA Anderson

Paul, thank you! For taking this to heart ! To me this is the most magnificent Love Story, written again/again thru the centuries by those who do love, beyond reason really,and in trust.....their fulfillment together is their reward.......and yes, an example of what 'can' be, IF one is lucky enough......I was so taken with this , with 'them'.....hence this tribute...to..LOVE pure,against the odds. VIVA

When one views your painting it is immediately seen as being magnificent. Then, as one re-reads the story of Heloise and Abelard to its conclusion it transcends magnificence. Bravo, Vivian, for a piece and description that all of us should take to heart.
