Life of Art

Arthur vaguely remembers who he is. Other than his name, Arthur Gabriel; he's an artist, muscician, and well balanced in the art field. Most ponies in Canterlot called him Art or Artie. He remembers seeing a few things as a small colt. He remember two ponies: the white alicorn Princess Celestia, and his step-father, the pony who many referred to as Leo. He recalls an old pony, his coat was a faded brown, his cutie mark was a pencil with a triangle, and his mane as white as snow. His stepfather taught him everything her knows, from painting, sculpting, tastes in fashion, and a splash of music. As Arthur got older, his father became even more ill and just over all, getting in a worse condition. After his father died, Arthur grew up alone, not a whole lot of friends to call his own. He had the feeling of being empty, almost like a peanut shell without the peanut.

After that, although somewhat lifeless, he continued learning his trade as an artisan. Arthur did various things: from paintings, drawings and photo-shoots, to even sculpting, he did a little bit of everything. Throughout his career, he still had that feeling of being lonely, he missed the affections of being loved. Although he became popular with the Canterlotians, he still felt empty. He eventually got the attention of Celestia. After that he became more passionate about his trade. He became so passionate that he was determined to make the greatest piece of his time.

He even remembers how he got his cutie mark. He was asked to do the biggest commission of his life: a portrait of the Royal Family and a few close patrons. As his mind and heart filled with excitement and anticipation getting more and more comissions. The ponies in the portrait were: Celestia, Luna her younger sister, a few other ponies, and a small purple pony named Twilight. At first, he didn’t realize who she was, or even this signifcance until he meet her later on. After such a big and success turnaround, he got his cutie mark; a paintbrush with a palette on it. After that, his heart filled with adventure, and curiosity. He packed up what he can, hauling it in a wagon and made his long, exhausting trot to Ponyville.

Although he was very grateful of Celestia for the support, even wanting to pay for his train ticket. He refused the offer. After a week of preparation, he left Canterlot and took the journey. In the three days of nonstop traveling, seeing the rising of the sun and the moon. There was something magical, very relaxing, yet mystical about Equestria’s nature. On the fourth day, he found himself a bit weary and decided to take a nap outside of Ponyville. He threw a blanket under a tree and rested under its leaf like shelter.
