acrylic on canvas, 20x24 inches |
"MY heart to thee an answer makes, O long, slow whisper of the sea, Whose charm of mournful music wakes A dream, a memory. Touched hands, met lips, and soft fair speech-- Soul's silence to the past replies, When love and hope illumined each, Within a girl's blue eyes." William Stanley Braithwaite |
People who see this painting are often reminded by the Edgar Allan Poe poem Annabel Lee, But in reality I was probably inspired by an old Cure song from the Faith album |
