Description
I am sure, in all of our lives that there are times when life changing events happen. Probably as we live this happens many times.
I don't usually write so much when I post an image. However this is one time that I wish to have something to say. More than anything besides the image itself, I want to share the
lyrics of a song that inspired my image and the song is probably my most favorite of any I know! I know and love many songs,
but.......
NOT LIKE THIS
Not like this
Without a single tear
We can't just walk away as if it never happened
Our kind of love
Has never talked in whispers
So if it's time to go, let's do it right
And go out loud
But not like this
Without a backward glance
Did all our feelings die the moment love was over
Well not in me
'Cause I still feel you in my soul
So I will leave you tenderly...or..bitterly
But Not Like This
WRITTEN BY JEREMY LUBBOCK
I wish that I could sing it for you, but alas that isn't possible. But if you would like to hear it as it should be heard....you might visit YouTube and look for Al Jarreau singing Not Like This.
I asked The Artist "doarte" to create a background for me for my image, for I knew only he could give me what I needed to fulfill my obsession to complete this art piece.
He is and has been my favorite artist and has provided me so many of his works for such a long time. Those pieces of art have been so very instrumental in my growth as an artist and have been a great source of inspiration through the years. Thank you Wayne very much.
FOXY....my girl...Created by Trevor Hall (scooby37) simply had to be the featured character in this image that had to be released, again from my soul. Thank you Trevor for your creation that is so perfect for me at this time. Please forgive me for the little license I took in her original appearance. She is a dream to work with.
There you have it! Toni talking and sharing more as never before.
I do hope that you like and enjoy my image.
I DO HOPE THAT YOU WILL ZOOM IN!
Thank you for your comments. As always, you and your support are really appreciated!
Thank you for your comments on my last image: PRACTICE....THEN BATTLE

wonderful work done here!!!
A splendid model in a most impressive setting. You have style and taste,
Wonderful mood and beauty.
Beautiful image dear and touching words to go with it. She has some mystical eyes for sure!
Very poignant and heartfelt scene and words, Toni. Life challenges us in ways we don't expect. It is always heart breaking to say goodbye to love, no matter how it leaves. CC
She is indeed beautiful, I like how he creates his girls--- they look like the real ones. Lovely portrait, Toni!
a fantastic work my dear!
Beautiful as always.. I love you my Gemini Twin :)
thanks for your PM, toni...you know, i did see this image, except i was at work where i simply can't make any comments in galleries or forums...BofA is really paranoid (can't imagine why, LOL)...did make a mental note to come back to it when i got home, but i forgot :(...love the lyrics (poor Jeremy), though i can't say i can really relate...i have been on a no close relationship (that is, no love involvements) diet for years and it really works for me...just give me my lovely dogs :)...anyway, before i digress any further...do love what you've created here...it works so well with the those haunting and most emotionally desolate lyrics.
Exquisite take on a sad love song .. beautifully done, wonderful bg
Beautiful Toni, like all of your work, makes me have stronger meaning in life, your art always inspires.
