Artist's Comments

I painted this as a birthday present for my boyfriend. We have plans that when we grow up and become wealthy through our respectable talents, we'll build our selves a weathered castle on a desolate hillside overlooking a large metropolis. If such a plot of land actuallyexists anywhere on earth, please let me know.

There's an obvious homage to the classic Tim Burton laterals. There's a lot I'd like to fix about this painting but it was one of my very first oil paintings so I don't want to taint it.

Also, this picture doesn't show the whole painting but in the full view of it, the colors are all screwed up.

You've got to love curly architecture. The colors are quite nice but I want to see a deep blue in there somewhere. Like mixed in with the black or something. I understand it's hard to criticize something you yourself find many flaws in, so I'll leave it at that.
Maybe you could do a follow-up piece. :)

Other than that, how was the play Mrs. Lincoln?

Seriously reminds me of The Nightmare Before Christmas. I love the black on red (two of my favorite colors) and the shape of the buildings. You should have put a curly hill in the background!
