Cupid Kissing Psyche (1798)... or is it?

[from one of my blogs, http://invisiblevisiblefriend.wordpress.com/]

In Musée du Louvre, a painting by François Gérard (1770-1837), "Cupid Kissing Psyche (1798)" resides. 

This was one of my most favorite imagery-- until I encountered this particular cuddly odd couple on the Central Line (중앙선). Again, it was the Central Line that had this odd couple.

You see, this is really pretty as a painting, when it is not so personal in a public space with real people. A painting of something makes it less physically real in the sense it is just canvas and paint, but Public Display of Affection on the subway, from 2 middle school boys, is quite a shocker. I would have ignored them and even not considered them for my next drawings in this blog, but then they kept crawling into each other's lap, really digging in there, and really getting into my space on the subway; I must add, it was not crowded at all. In addition, they kept glancing over at me, more than once, looking up and down and whispering really loudly in each other's ears. Yes, that is really sweet of them isn't it? Notice the sarcasm in this previous statement.

In light of that sarcasm, I must continue with making one more comment; may this couple forever be happy with one another--  together, their annoying qualities are mirror perfect of each other.
