Description
one of the three panels of a work for 'Wintercolors'i found a story about the winter of 1963, when two friends, only 10 years old, drowned in the ice of a lake, while iceskating in that small town in Holland, Hellum.
When the father and the boyfriend of one of thems sister decided to go and look for them, they drowned too.
This is the first of three, some kind of an emotional memory, without seeing the details.
For those who understand dutch, the complete story can be found on [link]
And i want to thank the little help of my friends: Isabel for being the model and the photographer of the picture, and for additional stamping. And both of them for their help in concepting the thing

This is absolutely stunning - I love the emotion behind it and the artwork. Everything about it is so quiet and dignified.
Beautiful beautiful beautiful.

So pretty! It has a good feel to it, and I really like that it's on a door, with the buttons on top and all.

other texture, more 3D, shadows, not so neat, cheaper, ...
but of course, this is my opinion!

This is a beautiful piece of work--all the separate pieces come together perfectly. It looks very much like a memory. Well done.
Thanks for the info on the inspiration, too. It was most helpful.

When I look at this, I feel this strong yearning for something...

This one picture could easily tell the whole story, it's just amazing.
I don't really understad dutch but your link is broken, perhaps you shouldn't include the [], just paste the link URL without any adidtional stuff right before or after.
P.S. I really like it, it's just brilliant

good work. before i read your caption i already got the feeling that the two were ghosts or spirits. I can sense it in their comparison to the door behind them and and eerieness of their reflections in the water. kudos!
