”... I said dance for me fancuilla gentile,
I said laugh awhile I can make your heart feel,
I said fly with me touch the face of the true god,
and then cry with joy at the depth of my love.

‘cause I’ve prayed days, and I’ve prayed nights,
for the lord to just to send me home some sign,
I’ve looked long and I’ve looked far,
bring peace to my black and empty heart…”

    I like the drama in this painting, she loves what she’s doing and is in the moment. Isnt that what we artists all do when emmersed in the act of creating?

  • Derek Shockey replied

    Thank you VERY much!

    yes, i agree we do… maybe that is what i like about it… i haven’t yet been able to put my finger on what it is…. for some reason it holds my attention moreso than some of the others… even though there is less to it…
