Artist's Comments

Acrylic on canvas, 24" x 48"
Status: Available

The nature of yearning is that a tiny part of you secretly believes that the event, person, or thing for which you yearn may be attained. Otherwise, it becomes grief. Grief is yearning without hope.

So I painted this one for three reasons:
  1. The Remodernist project: the intent is to create and submit works with the title and subject matter of "Yearning."


  2. I enjoyed using the orange, pink, and purple palette in my Kamloops Winter picture so much that I wanted to do something like that again with a different kind of landscape (figural). Yes, I fully realize that this particular color combination will not match *anyone's* decorating scheme save for a 1970s bordello so I know it’s not widely marketable. I don’t care: sometimes you just have to do things for yourself.


  3. I had been full of yet-undashed hopes lately. I waited until I finished this painting, and then I went up to the drugstore and got one of those stupid tests that I didn’t need to bother with in quite some time. The result was as I expected: dashed for the moment, but not wholly extinguished.

Love it! The orange/blue combination is my favourite of all the colour combinations.
:iconeddietheyeti:
This moves me sooooo deeply I can not express. Probably as much as a man can be moved by it. It puts me so strongly in the mind of my two dear children. Thank you for doing this!!!

See enough horror and experience enough pain and you become separated from your self.

An artist must create as often as possible. To cease this task is, to the soul of an artist, as ceasing to breathe.

This is absolutely gorgeous!!! I am in love with it!! I love the colors and the flow, as well as the concept. <3 :D
:iconforgetfulrainn:
And I might add, you really are among my favourite painters; and I like your art better than Van Gogh's... As soon as I start making some significant income, I'll be sure to buy a painting from you. I don't think there's any other painter I'm such a fan of!
:iconinmate2790:
yeah, what he said. future promise of patronage, and purchase of your work.

Haha... If I were rich, I'd sponsor or on a daily basis. The painter in residence or something.

There's a fine line between clever and stupid.
