I came across Beyonce's song "Heaven", and as soon as I heard it it kind of hit too close to home, and kind of brought up some old memories. The sad kind. Listening to the song, all I could think of and see in my mind throughout was a feeling where you're in a vast body of water. You're not drowning, but you're not floating either, rather, you're fading into nothing. You're transfixed in a state where you cannot move, or save yourself even if you tried.
I couldn't get that picture out of my head, so I had to paint it. I had to get this off my chest. It's a pretty emotional song, so I apologize for this piece being quite emotional, and this description as well.
So this painting, I dedicate it to my late godfather, Rex Bell. Thank you for everything.
Inspired by Beyonce's "Heaven ", and Nesskain 's painting, So cold but so sweet...

I teach an art class for teens (13 - 15 ) and I showed them your stuff. You're an inspiration to them. Keep on creating!

No way what seriously?
SERIOUSLY?
FOR REAL?
Holy crap I cant even express my feels.
THANK YOU SO MUCH! Oh my god you don't know how much that moves me and actually motivates me. I could never imagine my work being used as an example, let alone for an art class.

Yes this is for real. Your works are a good example of how color creates mood as well as a study in balance and organization. Certainly better than my stuff. So do record your creative process and maybe I'll use that in class as well.
Like is said it is an art class for teens who are part of the less privileged families in our community. I teach them for free.
CHEERS!

Honestly... thank you. I could never in my life have imagined that my work would be used in a classroom setting... as an example. It genuinely means the world to me.
Not to mention, props to you for upholding such an initiative. Hosting free classes for the community, you are a rare soul.

Thank you! I just hope that it doesn't become too repetitive and get boring

I know what you mean.
For example Apofiss has reached such a high level and there're always blur and some bubbles in his pictures.
In beginning I loved it but now.. well I think it lost its 'specialness'.
Now I only look for more complex pictures (;
It shouldn't bore you in the first place, but if it do, then just try something different (:
But I love your disney style; everything fits perfect (:
If you want to try something unusuall I could imagine that a space or cyber character would look cool in your style (;

Exactly!!! (Well, even if his work is really repetitive I'm always stunned haha)
I want to keep my work consistent in style, but I want to do different things and constantly challenge myself, yknow!

It's somehow cool that he owned that style ^-^
Oh I now exactly what you mean.
I don't have things that I constantly use but maybe I'll find something for me as well ;D
