    lol the title is funny .. but the image is really beautiful .. love the colours and the sense of angst in this.

  • Thank you so much PJ. Really glad you can see the angst that I wanted the picture to portray. I almost gave it a different and serious title …inspired by the song ‘all of me’ … I’ll post that into the ‘description’ section shortly.

  • Thanks John, really flattered especially considering your truly brilliant work! I’ve really been enjoying doing work with stronger and faster brush strokes and seeing what results it can provide … it does definitely help with expression.

    This is sharp and thought provoking. Love the title, too. I often use songs to inspire my work or evoke a mood I am attempting to capture in a piece. All Of Me is wonderful for such a purpose. I have every rendition of the song you’ve mentioned and I’ve used each of them to great effect.

  • I’ve been humming “All of Me” lots this afternoon following you reminding me of the song by commenting on this piece! "… you took the part that once was my heart … so why not take all of me.. " lalala … love that song.
    Wonderful to get your great feedback on my work. Thanks so much.

    Funny how things ‘connect’. You, reminding me, reminding you, reminded me that I had written a piece a while back for another poetry forum where I am a member. I have since added that piece to redbubble, ‘here’:http://www.redbubble.com/people/bowlofstars/wr... I hope you enjoy it.

  • Yes it is indeed funny how things connect … inspiration creates something and creativity inspires something … And I really appreciated you connecting me to your writing by reposting that. People who are not moved by music, even a little bit, is something I’ve never understood.

    You’re quite welcome, Miss Robey. Thank you for visiting and commenting on my work. Music is truly a universal language expressing the emotional state of the artist and the audience alike; regardless of one’s mother tongue.
