Description "Love of mine
Someday you will die
But I'll be close behind
I'll follow you into the dark
No blinding lights or tunnels to gates of white
Just our hands clasped so tight
Waiting for the hint of the spark

If heaven and hell decide that they both are satisfied
Illuminate the no's on their vacancy signs
If there's no one beside you when your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark..."

("I Will Follow You Into The Dark", Deathcab For Cutie)

Mixed media (mostly watercolor and colored pencils) on Bristol, 11x14".

The expression on her face as well as the windswept hair are really awesome!

You worked tirelessly hard on this painting. I like it! ^^

this is really gorgeous, the backround makes it seem like youre inside her nostalgia. How did you do the white spots? gouache?

Yes, the colors, the background, the dress, the work on the face... but why nobody has said anything about the tears carried away by the wind? Or am I imaginating them? I wonder how the snow was made.

MJWilliam In reply to zombieater [2008-02-26 20:51:58 +0000 UTC]

Nope, you aren't imagining them. But it might be hard to notice. The snow was made by dabs and splats of white acrylic.
