Description every time i climb the mountain
and it turned into a hill
i promised me
i'd disappear
and now I know I will

someone give me blessings
for the times you say i've sinned
so I can crawl inside myself
and ride into the wind
on Strange Highways
-Ronnie James Dio

I love Ronnie James Dio.
It's a shame he died.

im probably the biggest Dio fan youll ever meet, even met him once, hell of a nice guy. everything he did from Rainbow to Sabbath, Dio and Elf, all amazing. there will never be another like Ronnie. check this out [link] its a portrait i did of Ronnie after he died, sort of my tribute to him after he died

Wow, That's an incredible piece. It really does him justice. I have quite an appreciation for Ronnie, I grew up with my dad playing his records every weekend. It gave his work a real sense of sentimentality for me. I never had the opportunity to see him, but oddly enough, my father has one of his performances on VHS.

Indeed. I'm glad he shared Dio, Rainbow, and Sabbath with me, Ronnie has quite an emotional grasp on music. I took it pretty hard when he died.

Whats up man. This piece really sticks out to me. You have a gift of speaking zounds in your art. This is very beautiful. I understand, I believe, at least a little what you are saying. Well, it speaks very clearly is what I am trying to say. Very well done, Keep it up.

Cheers

thanks a lot for the great compliments, the words are from a song by the heavy metal band Dio, Ronnie James Dio is known for songs like Holy Diver, Rainbow in the Dark, Heaven and Hell (from his work in Black Sabbath), his popularity peaked in the 80s though he's still very active in the metal scene today, he' my personal idol and these lyrics are from a song called Strange Highways, and though its not his best work, its a cool song that brings up really cool and unique images for me and i thought it would be great inspiration for a painting
