This piece was created in response to a show theme challenge - "Love Lost and Found". This painting was inspired by a Helen reddy song and the painting style of Jack Vetriano. I've always been haunted by the Helen Reddy song "Delta Dawn" and always wondered what the male side was. In this case, he is waiting for her - how long has he been waiting - hours? days? years? He is about to give up, at least for today the boquet about to tumble from his lap. Maybe she is just around the corner.
