Description Sunset marks another step toward the inevitable hour.
One less day of wasting away in agony, yet one less day with that most cherished.
As death looms larger than life, from the depths of the weary soul wells up a torrential pain:

One more day, one more day. I wish I could just have one more day.

Submission for The Ohio State University College of Medicine's 2nd Annual Art Show.

40"x18", digital painting

Plugged in quite a few symbolic contrasts for this one.

Your digital painting looks like traditional painting. The result is just beautiful. Besides, there's such a strong and moving message supporting your painting. It makes it really... human and meaningful. It seems like you reached some kind of maturity as a human being and as an artist.

Anyway, was randomly dropping by. Good luck for everything and happy birthday in advance haha.

Thanks! And get all the sleep you can, Med school is a bitch! But the finish line must be close by now, right?

Oh, this image is so moving. It's sad - the poor mom who is ill having to console her child. I'll be interested in to hear how people respond. Hope Med School is treating you well!

Apparently it made the assistant dean of clinical skills and medical education almost tear up...or so's the word down the grapevine...there are some awards during the art show, so we'll see what happens.

Med school's been pretty intense, but I feel like I have a direction now, so it's all good

I wouldn't be surprised. The story of this image is so strong.

As for med school, glad you're enjoying it. Do you have any idea of what specialties you're leaning towards?

Right now, cardiothoracic surgery or oncology.

By the way...I got the vice president's choice award today

Surprisingly not many people these days want to go into CT surgery... It's weird.

But yeah we'll see how the next few years go.

Direction is always a good thing. Unfortunately it's too early in the day for me to tear up, but this does indeed well up feelings.

Good to know you're putting your stuff to excellent use. S'been a while.

Yeah it's been a while...but now it looks like I've set up an infrastructure at school where I get an excuse to do some art, so it's cool.

SSG-Scorps In reply to Tanqexe [2012-03-07 03:22:23 +0000 UTC]

And you seem to be enjoying it at that. The results are surely indicative of that. I really look forward to more of this.

Hopefully there will be time to do more of this kind of thing...not much free time these days.

ah, at second glance I realized the child is sleeping or resting... It really is bittersweet. :/
