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:
The Remodernist project: the intent is to create and submit works with the title and subject matter of "Yearning."
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 its not widely marketable. I dont care: sometimes you just have to do things for yourself.
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 didnt need to bother with in quite some time. The result was as I expected: dashed for the moment, but not wholly extinguished.
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!!!

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