SciFi and Fantasy Art: Sunset Angel

Maybe it was just one of those days when you sit down and what you feel flows through your fingers on to paper.
You see, a friend of mine receintly lost her father. I would like to dedicate this to her:

Sometimes those we love aer taken from us,
like a thief in the night they are gone.
But we must,
remember that when times feel the darkest,
and the struggles of life drag us down,
they are by our side,
in our memories,
whatching from above.
There is comfort in our memories of those we love,
who no longer walk amongst us.
But we must,
remember that in the end,
we will embrace in love again.

Since everyone is doing quotes that this picture reminds them of, here's mine "Still a whisper on my lips, feel it in my fingertips, and under my skin. Days go by and still I think of you, Days go by and I just can't live without you" Last sentence may explain the wings, eh?

ok since everybody else it i might as well comment considering i know exacly how your frend feels...

heres someting i wrote a while ago... "There stalks through the night a shadow, a fiend, his name is death and he is watching me, he has followed me for so long now haunting my steps, killing those off whom I love best. What fate is this that now I should hide, fearing now what I should despise. The pain of defeat follows me too, cursing my words, what should I do, from pen and hand thickly flows blood, not ink, from heart to parchment, an unending flood. Without this tide, however short lived, all would perish. Yet for now the tide is ebbed, but something is missing, today there is nothing, no more heart to sing."
and one more...
"There is nothing to feel, I cannot bleed, do not feel sorry, there is no need. Cut long ago with poisoned blade, its curse fills me still, haunting my steps, killing my friends, leaving me still, but I cannot die, I died long ago, when that blade cut me deep down into my bone, now there is nothing, and nothing cant bleed. Where one cannot reap, he should not plant seed, risk comes to all, to take without heed." this is mine, so quote, dont steal... (c) taylor phillips

I know how your friend feels. Well, it wasn't my father that died, but my grandfather (4 years ago). I have never gotten over it. I read this poem by some unknown person.

'You never said I'm leaving
You never said, good-bye
You were gone before I knew it
And only God knows why.
A million times I need you
A million times I cried
If love alone could save you
You never would have died.
In life I love you still
In my heart you hold a place
That no one could ever fill
It broke my heart to lose you
But you didn't go alone
For part of my went with you
The day God took you home...'

This is a beautiful picture and the poem that goes with it makes it even more beautiful. And then all the poems from the commenters just takes it over the top. I can feel for all those whose life has been touched by death as in the space of 6 years I have lost 9 people whom I loved dearly.

As i was reading this i was inspired to write a poem (whitch seems to be happening alot with your works) so here it is

Souls fly through troubled dreams
of those weve lost and connot redeem
i wish that i could spend one in his arms,
again i pray

To see the world as i once did
protected by my fathers arms
as he made sure i would not be harmed

and even though hes not here
i know he wont let me shed a tear
and as he whatches over me
i want to let him know..."I love you daddy"

*looks up* Whats his problem? People can write as long of a comment as they want! As for the artist it's a beatiful picture and poem. I hope your friend feels better.

I loved the poem and was very touched by it. A good friend passed last month and your poem was a beautiful reminder that we shall indeed meet again.
So seldom have I seen men depicted so beautifully in fantasy. It is indeed wonderfully refreshing to view such work. You are a very talented and intuitive artist. May your gifts and talents flourish. Thank you for sharing your work.
