Artist's Comments



A personal piece with a multitude of possible meanings.

Those of you who remember an older painting of mine called "To The Gods" - a portrait of me sitting on a crumbling rock in the middle of a raging ocean, red ribbons flying skywards - will realise that this is its (albeit unintentional) counterpart.

The words that accompanied that painting were, "To you I give my wings, because I have a reason to stay..."

The words accompanying this one are:

"Can these wings make me fly?" he asked.
"No," she said, "but happiness can."


I never found out if he fell.

+ personal reference used - thanks, Ric, for being so patient
+ wings... didn't I say I'd never paint them?

Are you bound to that rock, waiting for something?
