Artist's Comments

Acrylic on canvas, 16X20 inches. New.

That song by The Cure (Lament) kept hopping around inside my head as I was doing this. Oddly, I only listen to Japanese Whispers in the autumn. It seems like an autumn album to me.
I remember once dreaming of a snow covered field, midnight and silent, with Christmas lights buried beneath the snow, shining as brightly as the winter stars overhead...
Nothing to do with this piece, but the scattered candles brought it back from wherever it had been hiding.

Thanks be for the pleasant hidden things...

The looking is always appreciated, thank you =)

Awesome. You are brave to not include any figures. You pulled it off nicely.

Very nice, and very disturbing, as your works always are.

Mary dances for the angels
She's a puppet turned to queen
She's the harlot of the holy
Only angels hear her sing

Gorgeous instances of color amidst the greys; an entirely transporting and startlingly beautiful piece...

Get your holy water here before boarding the Beechey Island bus tour. :)

Remarkable use of tonal contrasts, and of colour highlights in grisaille. :thumbsup:

great work! creates a wonderful atmosphere fitting for a cure song.
never heard "japanese whispers" before. i think my favorite cure album is either "faith" or "pornography"

Enter into the frame,
"the sky coloured perfect"
sit down on the snow
listen to Lament song
... oh the smell as candles die ...

Not sure why, but it instantly reminded me of that incident years ago where all those kids in Chowchilla, CA disappeared, and it turned out they'd been kept hidden in a buried school bus. Whatever..it's another amazing dream of a painting. Mark
