"She Wanted to Live off of Sunshine & Chocolate Bars"

This is my pre-Norfolk Drawing Group blog. Honestly i'm probably be late due to me writing this one, but since i finished this piece last night i wanted to post it. Last Fri night when i was in one of those creative/ emotional moods i movie caught my attention. Candy staring the late Heath Ledger was about a romance between a drug addicted poet and his artist girlfriend that went terribly wrong. I was entranced by the movie because of the harsh reality of the way so many people loss their way in life. Love is a sensation that freezes time and everything before and after it will never be the same. The female lead in one of this drug fits wrote on the wall of her small country house of her first sensations of being in love. She stated that she wanted to live off of " chocolate bars and sunshine!" At first i thought that was funny but when i remembered what it felt like to be in love i knew it to be true. You will spend all day with someone that you in grossed with without even finding time to truly eat. So that's where the title comes from.
As you can imagine i am completely raiding my friend Ashley's photo gallery picking picture and picture to draw. This was so powerful in black in white that i saw myself doing something amazing with it. The brown swirls are suppose to represent chocolate while the circles are the sunlight. Thanks again Ashley.
