Separated.

“Like a dead weight we are held seperate by circumstance.”
This painting is about feeling homesick, missing Cape Town, Table Mountain, Family and Friends whom some I have found and some who remain long lost.

    Thanks everyone. Yes, I like the flow too Craig. I was talking about going back to Cape Town today for a holiday… and then painted this. If you know Cape Town you may be able to spot Table Mountain in this painting. : )

  • Carmen  Cilliers

    Carmen Cilliers, about 1 year ago

    Hey Lost boy – now you have me re-thinking my whole painting… there is a very long arm, and most definitely some legs! No neck but.

  • Carmen  Cilliers

    Carmen Cilliers, about 1 year ago

    But I see what you mean.. it looks like it is looking down over everything. Maybe it has two heads?

  • LostBoy1

    LostBoy1, about 1 year ago

    I thought yes legs but not joined…hmmm…not very good at interpretations…I see the heart :)

    Thank You Marco – I love his work. I suppose you are right, it’s a shame that so much gets distorted in the digital upload. This painting is far nicer in reality. (colours much richer)
