It's been a while since the last time... but once again the feelings piled up inside of me and I needed to get them out, thus I sat down again to do another piece of venting art, one which carries on from the last, which was more fall themed to this now in winter, fitting the current time of year.

Hope of happiness, desperation and denial... those are the feelings that gave rise to this piece. Stuck in cold lonely place, desperate for just one little bit of happiness to come your way, a simple outreach to bring you hope... but again and again, everytime you're denied...

I have been waiting and hoping for happiness for so long now, that I can hardly stand the thought of waiting any longer. I'm no young bitch anymore and it's hard not to feel as though the time is running out for me, something which often gets to me. I know that I'm desperate, but I can't help it... I feel like a puppy, pining for attention, tugging at the leg of a pair of trousers to get a little recognition, but whatever goes on up there on the sofa, the owner of the leg never notices nor do they move.

I wanted to try a few things with this picture and I'm quite happy with the results. It is still my "quick" style, which I like for these venting pieces, but I had a few things I wanted to try, especially in conjunction with that, for future reference.
