Even through the darkest phase

Be it thick or thin
Always someone marches brave

Here beneath my skin

Constant craving
Has always been

Maybe a great magnet pulls
All souls towards truth
Or maybe it is life itself
That feeds wisdom
To its youth

Constant craving
Has always been

Craving
Ah ha
Constant craving
Has always been

Constant craving
Has always been
Constant craving
Has always been

Craving
Ah ha
Constant Craving
Has always been
Has always been ‘
Has always been
Has always been
Has always been
Has always been

    Truly outstanding artwork Anthea.
    I like the vibrant energy that appears to be between the two, he sad but not facing her, she half turned away looking at him full of love and desires, yet almost crying from her perception of losing him… that’s what I read from an emotional impact standpoint… and, from an artistic standpoint, this sort of emotions emanating from your drawing is a strong statement of your great talent and your exquisite art. Very, very impressed my friend.

  • Anthea Slade replied

    Oh Vasile…I so enjoyed your beautiful reading of Constant Craving from both an emotional standpoint and an artistic standpoint. Wow I am in awe of what insight you possess and how you can put this into words that compliment and partner my artwork. Thank you so much for connecting with my art on such a deep level – it means more to me then words can express. I am so happy you like this artwork and that you have made Constant Craving a favourite.

    Your welcome Anthea

  • Paul  Stephen Dixon

    Paul Stephen ...

    Great drawing , very clever how you get the emotional feel across to your viewer, great word s and song too. Sometimes constant craving can be that the one loves the other too much and smothers them with emotion, often leading to a breakup, well done Paul :))))))

  • Anthea Slade replied

    Paul – oh thank you so much for your wonderful words and interpretation of Constant Craving…yes loving and wanting someone is tricky business and it is hard to get the right balance…I guess the most satisfying and beautiful love is where the love and craving is mutual and is fed from both sides…that is when both lovers can blossom and flourish. If there is an imbalance…emotional pain can set in. I am thrilled that the emotion and feeling of the song has come through my drawing because it is a beautiful song.
