Description
12x16in oil paint on canvas.

A one and a half day study of the great Elliott Smith for my boyfriend Shane for Valentines Day. I wanted to work on it more, but Shane wouldn't let me touch it. He loved the slight rawness in that it's descriptive to Elliott.
The scan isn't great.

One of my favorite Elliott Songs and songs ever:

Miss Misery

I'll fake it through the day
With some help from johnny walker red
Send the poison rain down the drain
To put bad thoughts in my head
Two tickets torn in half
And a lot of nothing to do
Do you miss me, miss misery
Like you say you do?

A man in the park
Read the lines in my hand
Told me I'm strong
Hardly ever wrong I said man you mean...

You had plans for both of us
That involved a trip out of town
To a place Ive seen in a magazine
That you left lying around
I don't have you with me but
I keep a good attitude
Do you miss me, miss misery
Like you say you do?

I know you'd rather see me gone
Than to see me the way that I am
But I am in the life anyway

Next door the tv's flashing
Blue frames on the wall
Its a comedy of errors, you see
Its about taking a fall
To vanish into oblivion
Is easy to do
And I try to be but you know me
I come back when you want me to
Do you miss me miss misery
Like you say you do?
