Listen to the beautifully composed soundtrack to this painting, done as a gift for me by 
foxamoore ---> http://www.furaffinity.net/view/5627335/
I miss you so much, I wish you were here...
This painting made me think about the emotions that we feel when someone we love passes away. They will stay in our memories and heart forever. Even if we mourn about the loss, the beauty of memory will soon brighten our mind.
I got very inspired by "The Fountain" soundtrack by Clint Mansell so that I listened to it throughoutly.
20x40 cm on watercolour paper.
The original can be seen on MMC and maybe EF. Thanks a lot for looking. <3

Wow. Ths made me almost cry. I swear there's not many pieces of art that have so much emotion in them.. It's good we have the ability to remember, sometimes bad, of course, but good memories are always more powerful than the bad ones. :)
Great job. Wonderful colors and shading. The expressions are marvelous as well. I'm just speechless.

Habs auf der Berlicon nochmal ganz deutlich gemerkt. Ich konnte nie länger als ein paar Augenblicke vor dem Panel stehen bleiben, sonst hät ich da wirklich wieder zu weinen angefangen. In dem Bild steckt einfach so unglaublich viel Emotion und wenn man es anschaut wirkt es sofort bis ins Innerste.
....I literally had shivers running down my spine after seeing this and reading what your thoughts were behind such an emotional scene. I instantly thought of both my own mother and my mother in law who passed last year, and this truly makes me cry, and smile at the same time. You are absolutely right that the memories of our lost loved ones will always remain a constant light on our path in life. Thank you so very much for sharing a truly beautiful piece.
Everytime I think about members of my family who passed away (not really loved ones, no), a song comes to mind, and I would like to share it with you:

Going to use a third person past tense voice with this on here:
The subdued, faint colors and the 'half finished' look really indicate that the artists' heart just wasn't into being creative and he had other more pressing things on his mind. One wonders if perhaps the artist may have had gone through a difficult period in their life when they made this.
I think it is this, more than anything, (simple as not making the oranges more vibrant, or giving a complete background may be), that gives this image it's power to stop a passerby and make them take the time to reflect on whom they too lost.

Also, the use of similar colors in the background and the disconsolate tiger give one the impression of unnoticed anonymity, reflecting the tigers feeling of 'no one sees me, no one cares', contrasted with the bright warmth of the spiritual tiger behind him.
and you know this is the first time I've been able to comment like this. usually I say nothign and fave or give the equivalent of 'derr-herr-herr! Dai-uhh! Preddy Pictchurr!'

This instantly became one of my favorite pictures in the world Alector... seriously. Prints ever being made? Because I'd snatch one up in a heartbeat. I HAVE lost someone that close to me, in another chapter of my life.. and the wave of sadness that first came on when I saw this picture was fast swallowed by a smile when I thought of them hugging me to comfort me for the tears I once cried over their loss. Thank you so much for such a wonderful piece of art. *offers a giant gentle hug*
Oh God... *tears up, starts to break down*
This is so very tragic and beautiful...gorgeous coloring, heart-achingly rendered...the devastation in the living tiger's expression, and the sorrow in the spirit tiger that he seemingly can't comfort the one he left behind...the richness of palette and shading and fur combined with the style (I've always found watercolor to be more effective and moving than oil)...it's all so incredible.
Definitely your best piece I've seen so far, and the best I've seen on FA. Thank you for making it, though I am sorry for the loss that inspired it. *hugs*

Very few works of art hit me in the heart like this does. I can imagine what losing a loved one is like but I can never imagine what losing an intimate loved one is like.
I've lost pets and cried so hard I thought I had lost a kid. I think all of us don't ever want this to happen to people we love on the level of our pets or even higher.
I'm really sorry for your loss whatever it is because this really brings out the emotions in everybody who feels lonely, in love, or whatever. This is the most emotional piece I've run into thus far and I have to tell you few works of art touch me like magnificent felines in pain like this.
You don't even know how many people will get touched by this. If I shed a tear when looking at this I know why because big hearts like mine are big yet so soft in the middle

No matter what words are said, no matter how uplifting and hopeful. No matter how spiritual, it is a pain and an emptyness that we never fully leaves us. It is a feeling that we just have to adjust to. We can only celebrate their lives and not just remember the passing. To celebrate their time with us, the memories that will always be a part of us. To wish them well on their journey and hope that someday, in some way, our paths cross again
Before reading the description I actually looked at this in a different, but still VERY emotional way.
I’m in a long distance relationship. And he is my EVERYTHING. This is the man whose last name I want to take someday. I love him more than life or any amount of words could describe.
And hes going through a dark and scary time right now, for both of us. He’s having mental problems, hes on a strong anti depressant. And he just gets so lost and upset and hopeless sometimes. I’m so scared he’s going to slip away because I cant be THERE for him like I should be.
And when I looked at this, I saw his pain, I saw him there crying. And I saw me, wishing so bad I could hold onto him, but I cant...
tears in my eyes.
thank you for capturing such emotion so perfectly

The Fountain had a very lovely soundtrack. I quite like this piece, too -- there are a lot of mixed emotions that I feel here -- not only is the spirit something that may have actually existed, but it can also be the spirit of something fictional that helped carry us through a difficult time.
Thanks for sharing. :)

The change in atmosphere from the left to right is remarkable and really changes the mood from drastically sad to hopeful. I also love how the spirit is holding them and how they blend into the cat and the background. Very beautiful and emotional painting [probably the best I've seen around yet]. I wish I could even slightly artistically rival this ;; This would be gorgeous to have the original hanging up!
Wow! Reminded me COMPLETELY of this,
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Fuk5kV-Sq8
both emotionally and artistically.
Don't know if any of you are familiar with the Secret of Kells, but whatevs.
BTW, the end is pretty creepy, even if you've seen past it...
I really liked how you did the wispy spirit. It looks so real and sad.

"Wow......Just...Wow. I'm crying as I write this. It...It's so powerful.....It makes me mourn even more for the people in my family I never got to meet, the childhood I was robbed of.....and the slow dying of myself....This picture...No, this masterpiece, is exactly what I want to do when I get to hold my wolf for the first time. I can't express really how....I guess overpowering the feelings this gives me into words, which is REALLY SAYING SOMETHING.....I'm almost NEVER lost for words, but this is too beautiful to even try to start to...."
Yesss... Seven weeks since my Lifemate RL since almost 20 years expired. Seven weeks as a single parent, trying to adjust to the loneliness and pain. This feels like a beautiful and extremely sorrowful illustration of how I feel from time to time, still waiting for the bright memories to outweigh the shock and depression. Yet it kindles the little flame of hope within.
First thing I ended up doing was stopping myself from crying when I saw this. It basically shows how I feel daily... I've lost someone really close to me in High School, I have yet to get over that... This piece is wonderful, it reminds me a lot of him and I. I wish I could fav it more than just once. ):
A most beautiful piece in look and heart. No matter how someone may feel on the subject of what happens after life, the memories of the past live within us, the living.
I love the contrast from solid colors through the wispy toned out portion and off to the void of color section. It really moves the eye across the whole piece.

Beautiful work.
I have loss someone very close to me a long time ago but it feels like yesturday and ........you wish they had their arms around you to keep you safe. There are days you think the pain will never stop and others where you forget . It's the forgetting that hurts the most because with it comes guilt.
You have done an amazing job on this artwork. You have captured the truth about the pain surrounding the ones that get left behind.
Thank you for sharing.

When I saw this piece I actually cried. You really helped me our. I been bottling up the emotions of my dad's passing four years ago and this piece really brought it out. Thank you. For once I am able listen to his voice on my answering machine and now able to look at his picture. You don't know how happy you've made me.
Thank you.
Thank you.
I lost someone very close to me...a very long time ago. I still cry every time I think of her...I like to think that I'll see her again someday, or that she's here with me all the time. But sometimes, I just feel so alone...*Snuffles and paws at his eyes* Thanks...this picture brings back memories, both good and bad. And it perfectly sums up the immense pain that we all feel eventually.
I.. added this to my favorites I thought.. but I guess I didn't! For shame on me!
This painting helps closely depict the almost indescribable feeling of loss when a loved one is taken away from us. I've experienced this feeling on more than one occasion.
Very well executed. It made me tear up.

I can feel the emotion carried by this paint, this is simply beautiful!
I love it when when a piece of art brings tears to my eyes ^^ I see its had the same effect on others :)

Now this, this is art.
I probably shouldn't say much more than that, but I feel like I need to. It... it goes beyond merely displaying a state of being. It invokes the emotions it expresses in those who observe. In conjunction with the music composed, it sways me into a frame of mind in which all of my losses weigh on my soul as though they were fresh.... but still I feel comforted by a whisper of something too delicate to be put into words. Thank you for sharing this with me, and with all of us who see it. This is what art is really about.

This hits me hard. I know how it feels to lose someone you love. Years ago I had lost my mate to suicide. Every year, I make it my job to go to Washington to visit his grave, every year I bring him roses.
I miss him dearly.
Even now, I do have a wonderful, loving mate. But we live 1500 miles away from each other. Its not easy. I miss him every single day.

I love this so much. It moves me because I lost my daddy two years ago and my older sister only one year ago. I had to be strong for everyone else and when it came time for me to cry, I've been alone, to hide it. It hurts, having to had watch them both go. The sorrow returned recently when a friend lost his mother.
Your art is beautiful and I like the message and emotions you were going for. You've nailed it.

I know you have read this from everyone else on these posts, but with the ability to create a mood such as this through an image is more than spectacular. It is nearly a miracle. My whole day stopped to see this piece for its entirety. This is more than a skill or talent. You have captured more than just the essence of a memory for us all. Thank you for sharing this masterpiece.
It's so beautiful and sad
I love the ghost's expression. He just looks like he's trying to say to the other "stop crying and turn around, I'm still here, with you !" I wish it was that easy, just looking behind one's shoulder and seeing all one's loved ones =s
So powerful emotions

I dont see why people are sad this represents that no matter what happens memories never leave you, that the on you loved who is now gone is breaking through those gates to reach you yet again, and when i see that picture it fulls me with joy i feel like every one of my loved ones that have passed away is with me.
Thanks for sharing this piece, and for the description.
In one more day, It'll be the fourth (I hate using this word in this context), 'Anniversary', of my SoulMate's death.
I remember, just after she passed-away, doing the dishes from our last meal together. I looked very-much like that crying Tiger, and wasn't sure what to do, or how to survive her. Suddenly, I felt her hug me, exactly like that picture shows. I could smell the lavender scent of her shampoo, and for a too-brief moment, a wonderful sense of bliss and love. I knew then, that I was not entirely 'Alone'.
One day, I'll die, and keep the hope that we'll be reunited on the other side.
Thanks again for expressing such feelings in such an amazing way.

It is truly breathtaking. This piece is both ethereal and real at the same moment, and it directly connects to the emotion many of us have experienced in our lives. I remember sitting in almost that exact position in my living room the day I found out my Mother had been killed in an accident. The memories of that day are renewed by this piece but in a beautiful way that leaves me without any regret at the memories and even some comfort. Thank you for sharing your talent.
hi! I saw this piece online and love it, I wanted to share in my g+ stream, but I want to be sure you're okay with that first. I only found out you drew this because someone commented with links to your FA. Please let me know if you'd prefer I take the post down
