What? What on earth are you talking about Harry!?

I always wonder about Harry’s other photographs. Who are they of? What are they doing? What do they tell us about Harry’s life and those in it? I love Henry Wotton.

Lord Henry, Me and Basil :) Can you say best friends forever???

Ah yes, it has indeed. How have you fared in my absence?

I-… I… Good God. Basil.

I’m not sure that i’ve ever… fully expressed my gratitude.

[thegreatpainterbasil-blog]

Look at me!

[thegreatpainterbasil-blog]

I have been quite absent lately, my humblest apologies!

I have been quite caught up I'm afraid. How are you all doing though? I would love for you to visit sometime.

Contentment

My dear Basil, I feel as if I haven't spoken to you in ages. How have you been?

Ah, yes! It has been quite some time hasn't it.... I must apologise, I have been fairly quiet recently....

The ugly and the stupid have the best of it in the world. They can sit at their ease and gape at the play. If they know nothing of victory, they are at least spared the knowledge of defeat. They live as we all should live, undisturbed, indifferent, and without disquiet. They neither bring ruin upon others, nor ever receive it from alien hands.

Were you close to your mother and father?

I was quite close with my mother, however my father being the strict religious man he was, didn't exactly approve my career choice. He wanted me to join the army. *chuckle* Needless to say, we don't see eye to eye most of the time!

My dear, dear Basil!I am so sorry I have not contacted you of late, it is unforgivable, I know, but you must understand that I have been terribly preoccupied with the most irritatingly sombre events. Allow me to take you for tea and perhaps cake soon?

Ah yes Harry, it is quite alright! Tea and cake sounds most lovely! I look forward to our next outing~

“Harry,” said Basil Hallward, looking him straight in the face, “every portrait that is painted with feeling is a portrait of the artist, not of the sitter. The sitter is merely the accident, the occasion. It is not he who is revealed by the painter; it is rather the painter who, on the coloured canvas, reveals himself. The reason i will not exhibit this pictures is that I am afraid that I have shown in it the secret of my own soul.
