More mopey morbid melodramatic stuff, big surprise. X)

I have spent waaaay too much time on this, time to call it finished and move on already. I've been working on this off and on for a few months between other projects. The general narrative is that the man's wife is sick and dying. Normal remedies have failed and she continues to worsen, so he's been doing everything he could possibly think of to try and save her, looking through books of ancient, holistic, and magic healing, all to no avail. Does he keep looking through his books trying to find the answer at the last minute, or give up and spend the last few moments his wife has at her side? OH THE MELODRAMA. I don't know if any of that reads at all in the final image. ^^;

Wonderful painting and the use of lighting to focus on the subject. This picture definitley speaks a thousand words (and I'm going for the first scenario ;)).

Simply stunning. The story is very much the narrative in "The Fountain" which i would highly recommend!...it would appeal to your sesne of visual immediacy. I've had a faboulous time browing your work...totally inspired...thank you!!!

A good use of pathos, in every sense of the word. :)
