Alcohol can be such a shit hole to be stuck in…
I dont know from self experience, but my mum was an alco..so i lived with it all my life
and seen how it can completely fuck with people..
and she went sober for a year..relapsed bad…now shes been sober for just over a year…
pretty sure she’s over it now, bloody hope so anyway!

I’m in Amy’s boat.. my mother was (she died in 1999 of breast cancer) an alchoholic for most of my adult life. You always knew not to call her after 6 pm because she’d be wasted and wouldn’t remember that you called anyway. She sobered up because of the cancer and that was the clearest I’d ever seen her.. course then there were the pain meds that messed with her too. But at least we got a little “clear” time together before she passed. All I can say to you is.. you are a very powerful human being to have fought so many battles and still be standing.. wow!! HAPPY ALCHOHOL FREE BIRTHDAY!!! An amazing feat.. from an amazing man..

I can understand what you mean mate I see the effect of people that come to the hospital for care but the damage has already been done

very strong artwork

Paul – how very very precious….this is so close to your soul..NEVER sell it! (Love it instead)

Haunting and beautiful

Never never ever sell this piece!! It is you and not you but it will always be such an important part of your life. I don’t blame you for not wanting to sell it. Even though it is such a marvelous work of art!

perfect

Congratz on the no drinking. :)
I wouldn’t sell it either…there’s more that you can’t see attatched to this, than
what you can see. Lovely work….I can relate.

AMAZING! This is very emotion filled. Incredible 10 years! I would hug you if I could that is so great. You will never know what you missed. I have buried 2 uncles from alcohol abuse. Its not a pretty way to go. HUGS Paul for being stronger than most. Vonne

imaginative work of art-shows much about yourself-an should art do that?

thank you to everyone. it is so… well. desperately important to receive this kind of feedback. shards of hard human stories akin to my own.
it makes me feel the gift of your companionship, human artists and flawed and full of history and ahching.

thanks.

Clarity please? This I commented on “other” entry, but not sure if you have or have not, sold this piece? As I said it is a beautiful piece, as you well know, and triggers a few memories for me in the viewing… thx for the sharing. TC4N

This painting is just beautiful and harrowing. Your work is overwhelming in its intensity. It brings forth so many emotions. I am in awe of your talent Paul.

Heavy Duty Man!

Congrats on the Home Page….you deserve it…..

wonderful. simply fantastic.

Fantastic painting with depth of feeling. congrats on home page.

CONGRADULATIONS ! thank God you were able to stop and keep going. i like the way you drew urself. to me, your laying down in the photo represents you laying down your addiction and your self long enough to rest then wake up sober for life! the building you are on, to me, represents “DETERMINATION, HOPE, PEACE” amoung the unstable watery conditions and situations. great art work. alot of people out there are battling alcoholism and probably see ur painting as an inspiration. that’s where all the offers are coming from i bet ya.
