Description The one who survives by making the lives
Of others worthwhile
She's coming apart
Right before my eyes
The one who depends on the services she renders
To those who come knocking
She's seeing too clearly what she can't be
What understanding defies

She says; I need not to need
Or else a love with intuition
Someone who reaches out to my weakness
And won't let go
I need not to need
I've always been the tower
But now I feel like I'm the flower trying to bloom in snow



- The Tower : Vienna Teng -


A gorgeous song that I’ve associated with Lethe for a while now. Partial lyrics however. So, for the curious, I have uploaded it for downloading here ?

Nothing else to add ATM. Old image. Posting it because I feel obligated to post –something-. Very simple pic. Done last year. And used in the background to this image.


Lethe & the above image are © E O’Callaghan/Orin.
Image completed in Painter 7.

love the darkness. I think it is the absence of light that makes this piece because it draws your eye. Very well done!

I love the creases and the light. The stark shadows it throws are gorgeous. That robe is so pretty. How long did it take you to understand creases and the way clothes fall?

orin In reply to LoveSnape [2008-04-21 13:26:33 +0000 UTC]

I’d say I don’t understand creases yet, and am still learning honestly. I think I get them wrong more than I get them right.

But thank you. <3
