Description
For your sake I wished you had listenedI think we both really should have tried a little harder
but maybe just for a second we can forget it ever went wrong.
I promise I've learned to be honest and now I'm at a loss for words,
because these memories of you cycle like constant regrets,
and this thing I'm feeling is nostalgic like a sleeping giant.
Darling I'm afraid I've been asleep at the wheel.
So come take my hand,
and keep this dream lingering just a little longer,
I would like to waste a little more time with you before you go.
*1/25/2011- A lot about this painting has bothered me since I completed it back in Nov. 2010, so I decided to re-visit it. This time I determined that the issue was it was missing the "Nostalgia". I altered the color scheme to a sepia tone to give it the real feel I originally wanted. Now, I can Say I'm actually happy with it. Sometimes, you just have to walk away from something before you can make it right. I guess such is true in life as well...

Very cool, the background intrigues me. Is it a giant tsunami about to sweep them away?

I tried to make the clouds look like a swelling ocean wave, but more for just appearance than imagery.

True story, sometimes you definitely need to walk away from something before you can see the flaws and revisit it.
Nice work, I love the concept of this piece.

I always try my best to put distance between me and a piece. I will pause for days before beginning again and that's how my process plays out... Also why I only do a few pieces a year.

Amazing piece with the ruins in the foreground. I think this is a pretty cool piece, I especially like the color palette, like something from a fantasy movie.

This is wonderful; I like that it demanded a second look to get the full impact. And I like that it invited a second look. Very nice work!
