Artist's Comments

Donated to a :iconsecretadmirerplz: contest and won by :icontheyellowghost:

Slightly altered from this version; I had to change it slightly to submit as a print and couldn't decide if it was actually an improvement, so I've added it separately.

The original picture was small and took about half an hour in ArtRage 2.5, with a tablet (my pathetic budget tablet) and this was another half an hour of resizing and reshaping and editing and additional painting.

Relevant description from the other picture copied here:
"...and my heart was like snow under thin crimson skin..."
Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov

Love - that feeling like your heart is pierced through, by some powerful emotion, when you see some precious image or someone's words and you cannot decide whether to cry or be joyful, is it the beginning or the ending, and if you are joyful, how do you express it, and is it even true...?

Redness, for love and pain and raw emotion, and literally for the heart. It is fragile and cold and thin like snow, sharp and freezing, melting softly in the heat of feeling... white for snow, purity, emptiness, overwhelmed by the deepness, wounded, bleeding, gaping. Thick black blood, dripping down, carrying the darkness, from deep wounds.


I give permission to :iconredblackwhite: to feature this in their gallery.
