being fatherless is really tough, especially when u r still young. It leaves a gaping hole in one's heart and and that person struggles through life trying to fill it. I should know cause i to am fatherless. It is not an easy life and half the time i don't even understand it. What makes it worst is when ur father is alive yet makes little attempt to comunicate with or even help u. makes me feel like he doesn't even care....yet i sometimes forgive....cause i feel like i need him..............
Anyway, enough about me, ur painting is really awesome and i added it to my favourites. i also plan to check out the rest of ur work. I hope things get better for u.

"What makes it worst is when ur father is alive yet makes little attempt to comunicate with or even help u. makes me feel like he doesn't even care..."

your most welcome.
I hope things get better for the both of us. I really do.
it sorta makes u feel a bit better to know that someone understands what ur going through. that ur not alone or crazy. that someone is hurting just like you and understands how u feel....
it makes me feel alot of stuff that i don't know how to put in words. i wish there were less fatherless kids out there. that is a life i don't wish for anyone. a life i am sadly still living. a life without a earthly father there for u......

by real I mean that its just so relevant and transparent. I believe that a lot of people are in that place, and your paintings help put a picture to something thats too complicated to explain with words. Know what I mean?

This is an incredible painting. I will tell you what I see. A man being burdened under a constant strain and trying to isolate himself to escape it. It always comes back though, piercing through your emotions and turning your world into darkness every time. Trying to hang on for as long as possible believing that when you finally have the Strength to climb up you will be faced with the harsh reminder of death, possibly being taunted by it constantly.

I am extremely moved by this.
Even before reading what you wrote I thought of the Duran Duran vidio for the long version of โWild Boysโ [link]
I found the space to be what I expect A post apocalyptic barbarian survivor to see of the world around him.
I got an underlying feeling of emptiness, loneliness and far.
I found your artist comments to add strongly to the already strong narrative of the painting.

sweet.....thanks so much for the comment and sharing your thoughts

this is so interesting, there are so many personal symbols here i think it would really help the piece if you explained it all.
i love the white tree and the noose it's quite hauntingly beautiful. a very deep brooding expressive self portrait, i really like it.

for some reason i find hard to read the whole thing you wrote. and i feel bad for passing it by like that, but i'll get back to it for sure, i don't like stepping over people's deep thoughts and feelings.
as for the piece itself, it annoys the hell out of me,in a brilliant way. that kind of thing you can't understand and makes you angry and then when you walk away from it you just want to get back at it and try to understand a little more of it. the only part i'm really having problems with is that rope knot, left side. it doesn't really seem to fit the painting at all.

*one of my top favorite comments I've ever gotten.
I'll come back later and tell you about the rope/knot...
and as far as the artists comment, i painted this and wrote it a year ago. I'm working on a new prose, and if I'm honest, I started last night.

Hey Wesley, thank you so much for becoming my watcher(: Not only do you have an awesome name but your art is jaw-droppingly captivating. Honestly I didn't understand the piece prior to reading your comments but it certainly evoked strong emotion within me and got me thinking, it's truly amazing whenever an artist can do that. It's always more than just visual appreciation.

oh, and you like my name.....? hmmm.......why

This is an amazing painting. The composition is great. I don't have a father either so this work definitely speaks to me on that level.
