Description Do you still see your dreams off in that distant starry sky? Are they more vivid now than when you were younger? I used to believe with conviction that I could reach my dreams no maters how far off they seemed, but that innocent me from long ago now carries so much doubt....

this about saying goodbye to your childhood, A lightly less morbid painting then some of my recent work

coffee and acrylic on paper

$10 print available for a limited time, send me a note if you want one

Beautiful yet again my sister.
My childhood is something i'm being force to let go of, or I will remain in it forever.
I don't believe i'm ready for the real world.
Well, enough of this. I really really like this picture. I love how you illustrated it! You are a goddess.

I love the shading of the tree and the figurine.

Did you really just, paint, with the coffee?

at first i was like what the heck is this but after reading your description, i like it. it's smart. a little morbid. sad. nice. i suppose id include a referance to dreams in your title, if possible tho, because hearing about the dreams is when it really clicked for me...like i said, without the description it's quite confusing.

Amazing. I just adore the concept of this...And the muted tones with the hair's spark of bright color adds a really nice touch. ^_^

I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not... I forgot to mention earlier that I like the color choice and texture of your picture. It really caught my eye.

Nope, no sarcasm here It's always hard to tell on DA isn't it?

I hope you don't mind, I suggested your work for a feature from project comment.

Thanks so much, I'm glad you like it!!

Yeah, it's hard to tell many times I've run into problems with thinking people are sarcastic when they aren't, so I like to clarify before I assume. Thank you so much for suggesting my work and thank you for your kind words

YAY COFFEE.

I like the concept behind this. The mannequin's bright hair really stands out in all the bleakness of the rest of the painting, draws you in. You did an amazing job on the eyes, too.
Nice work.

Oh I'm glad. ^^ You're very welcome.
