there’s something about the sight of steps leading down into the water. it feels like the ocean telling me to come home

there is one fic on ao3 called "Neil Josten versus November 12th". yeah:) the thing is that it has inspired me so much that i couldn't do anything but draw something related to it.

i absolutely hate the statue, because it took me at least 8 tries to show it the way i see it, and im still not satisfied(( +the face of Neil. the sketch was stunning, you better believe me, thought the result is... ok ig(((

anyways, i hope the author and other readers like me will like it. love everyone💗 (no one will see it, im sure:) )

the songs i listened to while painting: Again and again - definetely the hymn of this fic (by the bird and the bee) , Indigo (by Sam Barber ft. Avery Anna).

"to endure!"

vincent van gogh ("trees and undergrowth") robert lowell [How will the heart endure?] vincent van gogh [I must endure bad times and the waters will rise, possibly as high as the lips and possibly even higher, how can I know beforehand? But I’ll fight my fight and sell my life dearly and try to win and pull through.] rainer maria rilke [To be loved means to be consumed. To love means to radiate with inexhaustible light. To be loved is to pass away, to love is to endure.] joan didion [Not just to endure it, not just to suffer it, not just to pass through it, but to live in it.] elena ferrante [maybe not even a very orderly mind can endure the discovery of not being loved.] elena ferrante [I will give what I can give, I will take what I can take, I will endure what has to be endured.] han kang [The feeling that she had never really lived in this world caught her by surprise. It was a fact. She had never lived. Even as a child, as far back as she could remember, she had done nothing but endure.] victor frankl [What is to give light must endure burning.]

Water Lilies — Japanese Bridge, Claude Monet (1923)   

At the age of eighty-two Monet discovered that he had a cataract. The deterioration of his eyesight was horrifying to the artist, who wrote, 'I realized with terror that I could see nothing with my right eye .. a specialist... told me that I had a cataract and that the other eye was also slightly affected. It's in vain that they tell me it's not serious, that after the operation I will see as before, I'm very disturbed and anxious,' In 1923 he was operated on three times to try and correct his right eye. The brilliant fiery reds and yellows of Water Lilies - Japanese Bridge, 1923 are indicative of the impaired sight of the artist, seeing his bridge within a reduced palette. Yet it is the most evocative sum of color and light and composition, creating on overall startlingly emotive effect.
