Tag As FavoriteComment		Mouse-Painted. A meditation on life’s transitoriness. (As well as on art’s transitoriness: I had almost finished the first version of this one when my computer suddenly crashed... I had to start again from scratch because I had forgotten to save it.)

Indeed, men fade in and out of existence just like leaves of grass. How few of us ever make a mark on the world. transitory indeed.

Eerie. It makes you think, that's for sure. I admire your patience with a mouse.

*smiles* I like this one... the way the features are simultaneously melting and decaying (or so it seems to me) is.... neat. very neat. *mutters and wanders off vowing to find more impressive and detailed words than 'neat'*
