“..in memory of my grandfather..”
Musical Inspiration: Completely Incomplete by The Left @ thesixtyone.com
Behind this image;;
My grandad was a great inspiration to me and had known my granny all his life. They had grown up together, even the war didn't part them for long, survived the death of a child, written to each-other every day for the two years that he was in Italy for the second world war. They were married for 60 years, and in the end it was something minor that took him away. I don't deal with death very well. I hide my fear, anger and pain inside and I cry when I'm out of earshot. But this time I want someone to find me; I desperately need a hug and be held back so I don't feel this constant need to run away. I'm surrounded by all these people, family members who are going through the same thing as me; and yet I have never felt so alone.

I made this in memory of my grandad; for his love of birds and wide open spaces. I miss you. x

With Peace




IMPORTANT
So that you can view my artwork the way that I created it in its full colour and shades, please check your monitors settings; and that you can see all the gradients of colours on this test >> [link] - thank you

(I hope that I don't have to regret not watermarking this big and bright across the middle! If you have any sense at all, or know how hard I fight for my art, then you'll know that taking this would be a VERY bad idea, I trust you're not brain-dead enough to do it anyway!?)


&& {big} Full View please - Everything is better when you see the bigger picture! ^^ .x
This is not a freebie!
-- Steal this and I will make ginger bread cookies of your body like the killer did in Black Christmas!

Wow...this is stunning and incredible.. I'm sorry for your loss; this is so beautiful, and is a wonderful way to remember what he meant to you. Great job, as always! I have one question though - on the artists comments, I noticed that you have large text as a header. How do you do that? Gorgeous piece. Instant fav.
