Artist's Comments

Recall a vague and fading past
Before each turned to flee in fear
I used to be amongst the real.

I took too many

Only the lost now seek a refuge
For I am chained here
Apart from those whom I may touch
Afraid I may
Turn their golden feathers
To an ashen grey.

So this is my curse?

I could gaze forever
Into my own soul, or a lonely sky
Yet I see them flock
And gather at my feet.
How curious this bleeding
Intrigued by quiet cawing
Do they suffer?

So far removed from the warmth of flesh;
A distant sense of emotion.
Examine remains;
Try to remember
How it feels

To make the living bleed once more


-----------------------------------------------------

Can't remember how long it took Maybe 15 hours? I took this one nice and slowly though. Fully digital painting, done in Photoshop from scratch; very enjoyable to paint. I might tweak it a bit more, but I quite like it as it is at the moment. It's a window unto my mind; and imperfect as such...

Enjoy

I think it's amazing... There are bits that aren't perfect, but I'm not going to say what they are, because I think you should leave everything the way it is. It's a wonderful work.

The detail of this is just insane. This is one of those pieces that just leave me breathless. Amazing!

I love every element of this; her chained to the tree, the dress and hair, the skeleton vultures.
Wonderful work.

A window into your mind, albeit an imperfect one? I wish I knew what you meant by that. Your words reminded me of the lyrics of a Paul Simon song:

"And she said losing love
Is like a window in your heart,
Everybody sees you're blown apart..."

...although I'm not entirely sure why. And as for soul-gazing, I'd be wary of doing too much of that. I've never been entirely happy with what I've found.

PS. Deeply impressed by the skeletal birds. Fancy trying a humanoid skeleton at some point? ;)
