    This isn’t funny. It is very sad and personal. It must be a great achievement to get it on paper. It’s a great achievement for me to even look at it.

    Thanks Soxy – I now it took a lot for you to look at this artowrk and to comment, and your kind words mean a great deal. I am deeply touched and honoured. x

    Dark one man – and a bit fun at the same time.

  • John Douglas replied

    Thanks David. I seem to always see humour in sadness and tears in fun.

    This knocked me to the floor. As one who has come close to this myself, it really does capture the isolation and naked despair of such a moment.

    I know where you’re coming Lisa, and what it would have taken to see this artwork and to comment – thank you xx

  • John Douglas replied 9 days ago

    I hope that it can be appreciated on many levels and I certainly it can be enjoyed on at least a technical level, and if there’s others for you then ALL good far as I am concerned! :)
