Description On the third day he took me to the river
He showed me the roses and we kissed
And the last thing I heard was a muttered word
As he knelt above me with a rock in his fist



song (c) Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds
This was for my final major project for my foundation year. I did a whole project based on the song (which can also been seen photographically here [link]

dunno why it's taken me so long to upload. I used photo ref but I can't find where I got it or w/evs soooo yes.
I actually illustrated the whole song. Maybe someday I'll upload it all but these are my favourite two I adore them they're hanging in large print in my roommm yay

yes yes the background was originally done in oil pastles but it's actually blue/green colouring rather than yellow. I played about with the colours on photoshop and this is the result!
Thank you, wee comments from artists I've loved for years mean the world xx

I think it's almost my favourite bit! You should do more pieces with that stuff in it cause it's absolutely brilliant. Very Impressionistic, and the Impressionists are my *favourite* artists.

Any time, my darling. *hugs* I love your work too!

I know this song And in my opinion your picture is very well suited to it, and I like the color scheme very much.

I guess that story does not have a happy ending. The art is lovely and very bright and proportioned.

Ok, I was just listening to this song.... that's creepy.
But anyway, back to the point, I think this is beautiful - the colour scheme, the poses, everything. You should be proud of this
