I like this story. A rather interesting premise — an artistic rivalry. I could easy see this story being shaped as a tragedy too, if you’d ended it differently.

Glad you liked it. Interested to hear what alternate ending is coming to your mind. Would love to draft a different version of this just for fun.

I was thinking something like Dorian Grey, where the painting consumes his soul or something and he dies with the finish of it. Then the painting becomes cursed - something like that

Aha! That's dark. I like dark endings sometimes. One of my story "the last customer" had a sort of unhappy ending. Thanks for the suggestion. I'll give it a try.

Yeah, I really liked the Last Customer - the inanimate object perspective is cool
