There was an apple tree in the yard -- this would have been forty years ago -- behind, only meadows. Drifts of crocus in the damp grass. I stood at that window: late April. Spring flowers in the neighbor's yard. How many times, really, did the tree flower on my birthday, the exact day, not before, not after? Substitution of the immutable for the shifting, the evolving. Substitution of the image for relentless earth. What do I know of this place, the role of the tree for decades taken by a bonsai, voices rising from the tennis courts -- Fields. Smell of the tall grass, new cut. As one expects of a lyric poet. We look at the world once, in childhood. The rest is memory.
That peculiar light that lingers behind the mind's eye long after the events that have spawned it disappear, beautifully portrayed here-- fine rendering that integrates beautifully with the background effects...
This is amazing! The variety of colors has entranced me 0_0 *STAAAAAAAAARE Also the eyes of the subject and the expression on the face! Wow, love the hair. The hand on the lips is awesome. I'd like to hear more about the story behind this one. Those memories definitely seem intense!
Well I think the category depends on several things. Minor contrast and touchup adjustments don't make it digital imo: 1. How much time you spent in which media? 2. Which is more pervasive or which do you think really makes the piece? It can be such a tough call sometimes, but go with your gut feelings about it

Willy Wonka: See children? Everything in this room is edible. Even I'm edible! But that my children. is called cannibalism; and that is frowned upon in most societies!
Weird Al: Put down the chainsaw and listen to me! (Song: Dare to Be Stupid)
This piece intrigues me. I just keep looking, and looking at it. That is a very penetrating stare from the figure on the left. One feels there is a whole story waiting to be told.

"In the end only love matters... It is love that brought the universe into being and it is love that will transform it... Love is the Alchemist of the soul."
Yes, this really is a profound piece. I love paintings that seem to have some sort of hidden secret to tell. I could look at this for hours.

Thanks I did this w/ knives again, and the paint's pretty thick. Took at least a month, it's another old one. I liked the confrontational gaze of the boy. Not particularly wild about that bright pink bit mid - lower right edge though, I may lose that later . . .

I love how their eyes are so knowing... holding more weight even than the lavish surreality.
