The painter under the spotlight

This is the story that was present in the childhood of Alfonso Crouch, the Portuguese writer who has published several works through Miskalani Publishing House. It is the story of the grandmother who kept a painter in her house for fear of the eyes that watch him, where Alfonso indicates that we all, when we look into the lives of our ancestors, find stories that open the door to stories. It is the story of the painter Joseph Sures, the painter fascinated by the circle; because the circle is the first thing a person draws. It is the most natural shape, capable of containing everything, and it is the womb of all shapes. The story begins with the birth of Joseph in a house of a retired military colonel, between a father who works as a chief servant, and a mother who helps him with ironing. Immediately, his chances increased that the colonel would adopt him alongside his son Wilhelm, bringing them together at the same table with one teacher. Sures was born a beautiful child, as strong as the waters of the sea, healthy as the waters of rain, and with a left eye like a waning moon, indicating that he would become an artist. And it is a sad matter; it is misery to be born an artist; because when you look at the world, you will look at it as if you are seeing it for the first time every time, so was Sures thrown high into the void and no one caught him?
