Only for the title.
The lyrics needs a different interpretation, IMHO:
close the eyes, lay down, hear this song repeatedly until you feel capable to let your heart suggest you a new scene where a sweet love pervades the atmosphere...
A challenge.

Ella - That is an image (and an excellent one too) that can be interpreted in so many ways. Each component has an individual story, I'm sure, but what do they all mean together, and if they are connected what is that connection? Food for thought, yet again with your scenes.

Dinasset and oldmangrumpy, thank you both for your comments.

Ella - as always you capture a world of emotions in your image; I especially love the triangle of the clock, the recumbent dog and the potted plant as they frame the young lady with varied emotions of timelessness, friendship and the impact of nature.

The best artwork ever seen, Ella.
Really fantastic!

Issabella, Pocholo, oldmangrumpy and dinasset, thanks for your nice reaction :tyspin

OMG, thank you for your perceptive comment on my work.
The triangle is accentuated extra by the light falling through the window.
And I think it gives a soft impression to the outcome.
At least my personal impression

Ella - more emotion, more perceptive imagery and more light shining through on the subject as she looks at those 'escapist' balloons in the book. Love it - more please. :paint

Congrats on the 10 years; I'm chasing you closely on that one :hehe
