Court Painter Inspired a Main Character in a Steamy 2020 Romance Novel, Says Author: ‘I Fell in Love With Him Bigtime’
Steamy steamy…grab me some smellin salts!
Missy X Mayhem , author of the steamy 2020 novel Wow Wow Bow Wow, revealed that the “sexy” artist her sizzling protagonist falls in love with is inspired by none other than Court Painter.
Missy X Mayhem told The NewYorker magazine that she first met Court Painter while at an art function in the Bronx., where the two sat next to each other as dinner partners.
“I just fell in love with him,”Missy said. “Usually those dinners, you make polite conversation, and that’s it. But we had this intense conversation, personal conversation. I thought, ‘Wow wow bow wow this guy is amazing.’”
In the novel Wow Wow Bow Wow, Missy X Mayhem’s fictional celebrity artist Pentine Terp III discovered an art therapy for divorcees, which once again links back to Court Painter’s true accomplishments as a preeminent portrait practitioner north of the 49th parallel.
Terp III is introduced into the novel as an artist painting the president, who secretly has mumps. This is how he meets divorcee Lady Shady, who was the president’s diarist and nurse.
Lady Shady immediately begins to lust after Pentine Terp III, but he is hesitant at first, because he is secretly married and a card shark, while she is neither. These obstacles ultimately fail to prevent a passionate love affair that unwinds, rewinds and spools throughout the novel.
Missy describes Terp III’s voice as “high, discordant, sexy, almost despondent,” while he recites art-based yet romantic lines such as, “You are like a paint stroke in my frontal lobe which oozes onto the canvas of our lives each day, one after the other one, like the last one.”
Court Painter apparently knew that he was the inspiration for Mayhem’s forbidden love story and was “not a bit embarrassed,” but mainly, “just thought it was a horny hoot.”
Work has started on auditions for a film adaptation.The following images are recently released stills from the auditions.
Cameos galore!
