I once upon a time
Carried a burden inside
Some will ask goodbye
A broken line but underlined
There's an ocean of sorrow in you

Sorrow in me

Saw movement in their eyes
Said I no longer knew the way
Given up the ghost
A passing minds and its a fear
In the wait for redemption ahead

Waiting to fade

Fading again

If death should take me now
Count my mistakes and let me through
Whisper in my ear
Taken more than we've received
And the ocean of sorrow is you
--Opeth, "Burden"

I was originally just going to call this Turquoise Angel, but I was listening to Opeth's new cd and heard this song and I thought it was perfect.

5 x 7" Watercolor and white goauche on Ampersands Aquabord (or claybord textured). I didn't really like the aquabord when I first started painting this, but by the end I'd gotten used to it and it is actually really nice to work on.

Thanks to Robin, for being a lovely model!
