Oil on canvas, 9" x 12". This is obviously Mark Knopfler-inspired. For those of you who are not lifelong fans, here's a link to the lyrics: http://www.songs-lyrics.net/so-Mark-Knopfler-lyrics-Kill-to-Get-Crimson-lyrics-Heart-Full-of-Holes-lyrics-sdmlfete.html As I learned more about color theory, I wanted to do a real color job, unlike most of what I painted before. Well, I guess the colors it does have. This is a small painting that was originally intended as a study for a larger canvas. However, I spent an inordinate amount of time at it working out small details, and now the itch is gone. If I ever run out of fresh ideas and decide to come back to the subject, I am sure I'll be able to do a better job, now that I see what I did wrong and how to make it better (Oh, the power of hindsight ...). While I am reasonably happy with the heart itself, this is my first attempt at painting water, and it shows. Anyway, thank you for looking.
