Tu Me Manques

'Tu me manques' is a French phrase which  means I miss you,   However, it has a deeper translation " a part of you is missing from me".. You are a part of me...

 

Locked in illusion of wounded feelings and poignant memories
a paintbrush spills the canvas an alla prima of translated thoughts. 
In embellished wet colors dreams entwine tarnished draperies
as shredded pieces connect jigsaw puzzles and scattered dots.
Tu me manques.... how do I align images distorted on blind spots? 




Alla Prima is a painting method where the artist completes his work in one session while the paint is still wet.
