I Will Be Good To You - Original Oil Painting

Canvas size 12x16 (overall framed size is approximately 19x23)

Close your eyes
Imagine a world—
Where only dreams are found
To it, we are bound
Passing through heaven—
Along the way

The sun on our face
Warming our smiles—
Leaving our past behind
To it, we are blind
Dreaming of tomorrow—
But caught up in today

The love in our hearts
We will bring only this—
To where time stands still
Allowing our hope to refill
Our future’s in sight—
The past we will betray

Now open your eyes
A dream it’s no longer—
It’s here we’ve arrived—
Allowing us to be so alive
I will be good to you—
Forever and a day

A delicate rose, still grasping at life, even if it’s only one more day.

This painting started out as more of a side project while I was working on What You Are Is Beautiful. It quickly became one of my favorites. The shadows were a challenge, and at times I completed these before other parts of the painting. I had to trust that everything was going to turn out correctly in the end. Some of those shadows, in an impasto type of style, actually add dimension to the painting. I was pleasantly surprised when it did. That’s one thing that I’ve learned when painting in this style— trust the process, because what looks like chaos can turn out quite beautiful. I wanted to paint it against the green background, so that parts of the stem start to blend in with it, allowing just the petals to shine. Once again, with most of my paintings, it looks much better in person, but I’d highly recommend watching the video on this page to get more of an idea of how the painting looks.

The painting is mounted in a beautiful brown and copper wooden frame for a very classical look, that you just don’t see anymore.
