Description I caught myself strung out and staring off into space again.
Unable to focus I wasted hour after hour on tired and impartial thoughts.
These broken feelings are leading to awful decisions and I don't know why I continue to make them.
I feel lost and I don't know how I got here.
And now I'm wishing I was anywhere but here, by myself
I'm cautious of these jumbled and poorly constructed questions.
They build and build in my mind with no real foundation.
And I'll ask anyone that will listen,
But the answers never come
They'll fade with time like my memories of you...
or so they say.
And they've truly lost all of their meaning in this absent-minded moment of clarity.
Really, I'm just tired and I thought you should know,
that for a second I fell apart.
But these moments are only fractures that will heal in time.
I'll figure it out in my own way
And for you I swear I'll try if you give me a chance.
God, I'll be whatever you want me to be.

The way you paint grass is very unique and full of colour and volume, lovely textures. The background shapes are mellow and meld together like clouds or water, but the foreground is sharper but without losing its weight.

Thank you very much. I was in a wierd place when I did this one which is why it differs from my other work and the brush strokes are more loose and frantic.

God, fucking, DAMN. I am constructing a show right now and have been in deep need for a kick-fuse-start from another source of inspiration. This has been it. God, fucking, DAMN.

I really like the almost posterized style of this - I think it adds to the impact of the image not to have too much detail around. Awesome words, too.

I have a huge spot for earthy-sepia tone paintings. The colors are so pretty. This is really beautiful and stunning. You've also written a very wonderful story to accompany this. I feel everything.

Thanks! I really try hard to "naturalize" my colors as to not over-power the entire piece and dominate the senses.
