drawing | homage

i've longed for the despair in their songs, before i got to know them. i've loved his voice from the first time i heard it. i learned about the lead singer's death one morning, as it set in raining. a tribute to david mc comb, tormented in life, may his soul rest in peace. i've taken the wide open road to this homage quite literal. ☻ kristen's suggestion to pay homage this weekend.

    I saw them (The Triffids) live more than a few times.
    A friend and I were talking about them just today...

    And don't know them either, I'm more about women's voices ;-) But I love the drawing, especially the mysterious numbers...

    I think Mr. McComb would like your version of Wide Open Road! Those numbers excite my curiosity and counting down the miles on the Wide Open Roads in Canada. The sky is like a party! xo Carole

    I had never head of them so thank you for the intro- even though it feels sad, like I'm too late somehow...
    Your piece I swear I thought was a quilt when I first saw it!!! Totally amazing Nadine- and I think Carole's comment it spot on! The longing- in that music .....
    Thanks so much for playing!

    Hi my dear sister! Never heard about this band before and I agree with the voice.
    But what I can say very clearly is that I truly love your artwork, these numbers are great and to me the sky seems to be full of dreams and fantasies to come true while you on a road of adventures through the unkown.
    Love and hugs
    Barbara
    P.S. I had a lot of candles lighten up last night!

    The texture is so great in this piece wolf friend. That sky. It is moving! The numbers on the road tell a story. This is a fabulous piece. Love it! N, xo

    Dearest Nadeschda,
    never heard about him before... thank you for your love... he is a carismatic man with a wonderful voice, indeed!
    Love your piece here... open wide road... so much more to dicover: that sky in van-gogh-manner... pure energy... as the overhead power cable, the strong red centre line of the road... and: you fool me with that numbers! try to follow them like 'color by numbers', but I couldn't recognize in that pattern a message....

    Love
    xo Ariane

    (I started listen attentively after you told us about circumstands...hope that has been nice ones.)

    Aggh, Nadine - the song, and your homage, tearing right through my lonesome heart this night with the rain coming down and my love far away.
    Thank you for bringing me back to the Triffids, whom I had almost forgotten about, all these years flowing by on my own personal wide open road.
    xxxoo, sus

    I think your painting is excellent, I went to the link and watched the video, I swear I did not know this band.
    know what I did? I copied your picture and tried to connect the dots from number 1 (like those games for children) but I did not get anything positive :)
    I really liked your post!
