Artist's Comments

Oil on Linen 1200mm x 900mm ( 4ft x 3ft)
Been working very long hours on this so haven't been around much plus a truck took our phone line out so we haven't had the internet for a few days.
I will let you guess what it is all about and tell you later.
Thanks for your comments.

Decaying Memoirs of Decadence by ~graemeb shines in its technical precision and sensitivity, and as a reflection on the coming of age and things left behind. Check out this extraordinary gallery! (Featured by `stigmatattoo)

Beautiful work, I adore the way the wallpaper dissolves into trees.

It gives me the feeling of being lost in memories of being young and free, earth and leaves between toes, running with the wind...and then there is now, the wallpaper, daily drudge for survival. The way a woman should be, the expectations and limits put upon her. Womanhood with the little girl inside.

Poignant and powerful work :heart:

The stone age did not finish because they ran out of stones, something better came along.

Aren't they wild but she can only walk in them with bent knees.

Yeah I'm rather happy with this one it just went according to plan right from the start, well almost.
You pretty much got it right there, she is old now and is remembering when she had the good life and took what she wanted but the image is fading, decaying away and she is letting go of it.
Thanks for your comments.

That makes sense, I mean, there's a direct equation with regards to how good a woman looks in something, and how equally uncomfortable it is.
