Oh My GOD! THAT'S IT!

I'm not touching this thing again, that's it! It's finished... DONE. All the mistakes can stay where they are! UGH...I soooo hate those hands *smashes head on keyboard*

ok..
I've been debating whether or not to post this on DA purely because of the story behind it. But... I have the urge to.

Just over 10 years ago when I was eight, my real father committed suicide. It's not a sob story or anything, I didn't really know him that well and he did what he did.

On the brighter side, I do have a Dad and he's great!

As much as i like to think that it hasn't bothered me ...I guess it probably has.
Not necessarily in a bad way, but I think about it from time to time. I’ve wanted to do a piece of artwork on this for a really long time, but I’ve never been happy with the outcome. It had to be just right……
With this, I think I’ve almost got it. Almost! LOL

The two figures represent my younger and older self. I didn't really know what to make of the whole thing as a kid... and i still don't have a clue now! All i know is that certain things in life shape you. Everything happens for a reason.. and at the end of it all I'm a very happy person!

The rose serves a purpose too! That was the last thing i gave to my Dad, may he rest in peace!

Well.. I'm never going to be happy with the description so i'll leave it at that before i go on and on!!

God knows how long.
Loads of mistakes but... I. don't. care.

I find myself faving your work browsing your Gallery. Looking at your pieces I'm a bit overwhelmed finding myself staring at the gorgeous details in lighting and forms (not to mention coloring) and your amount of faves lead me to think there's nothing I could say that truly would justify what I enjoy about your work that hasn't been said before...in the end I wanted to say you have stunning vision!

I don't really know what to say, but just wanted you to know that you have touched me.

~MissTown Jul 19, 2010

oohh this is lovey. it's strange how we don't understand things when we're younger, and how we sometimes never do.
my words are failing me. great job on this, i'm glad that through it all you're still a happy person
