This deviation originated as a concept consisting of mountains and butterflies trying to represent tranquaility and a chance to practice and experiment with mixed generes of art, however after completing what i originally set out to create, I soon thought with the cliff being there that this would be a good chance for me to express a concept i thought of a while ago, in a very dramatic way representing love and departure.

This concept is to show and represent that in life there is always a balance of good and bad and that although theres always happyness and laughter theres always pain and sorrow somewhere else and vice versa. In the end i mixed the genres using the tree to hang a young man from one of the branches and the couple and hearts on the other side.

The following poem was written by ~Earthnight to show his feelings on the piece and to show the emotive expression i have tried to submit to everybody through the picture itself. Please read this and pay your respects to this great writer

The tipping scale grows ever close toward conclusion’s clasp,
And I can feel my life is slipping slowly from my grasp.
The thread from which is woven all the subtleties of life,
Forever weighs on it the balance of contentment and of strife.
The insubstantial virtues of a world torn clear in two,
Are all that’s left to keep the balance and set right what’s gone askew.
The cellophane emotions have become all that we know,
And yet we strive to make it better once we see the seeds we sew.
The energies of life are trying harder to remain,
And the scale’s becoming even in these times that are insane.
So is there hope that on the other side contentment can be found,
Or are the times of strife just too far gone for balance to abound?

I like the concept, and I like the silhouette. I have to say I'm not a big fan of the background though ^^;
I just don't like the colour of it

Wahaa, I'm so jealous that I didn't get to do this concept before you did, because it's so awesome.
To me it represents the many situations where a couple is happy together in their world, and somewhere forgotten, yet just under their nose, is the ex , crushed and abandoned.

Ironic, and deliciously true. Wonderful.
