Description
They asked - "Do you love him to death?"
I replied - "Speak of him over my grave, and watch how he brings me back to life."
Originally from an Arabic poem but also more famously quoted by Mahmoud Darwish. I changed the gender of the words, to represent the painting.
It started as oils but I did a lot of digital work on it - to refresh, recolour, sharpen and also clone some of the flowers. Also I put a digital overlay on, to make it look slightly more vintage.
