I read the piece on fanstory and loved it and the picture is perfectly done and perfectly labeled.
I love the action of the sea and the priceless action of the woman calling for her man.

Your poem really sets the stage for another fantastic work of art. The colors you use for your paintings add to the dramatic effect. And the young man clinging to the cliffs shows the terror in his face. The added twist to this tale is that the lover is right above him, yet he is unaware, what an exciting and tragic story. Please tell me you have added the next in this line. Does he climb to safety to find his lover or is his fate sealed? Okay now you have me hanging on that cliff.. Inquiring minds want to know..
I love your technique in your paintings . The way you will use the drain effect is fascinating, I haven't seen anyone use that here on fanart. Maybe some do but I haven't seen any yet. These are fantastic

Thanks Diane. Indeed, you are the only one to almost guess at the inspiration for the poem. It's loosely autobiographical and you could say, I'm still skating from spill to thrill and not heeding or hearing any calls at the moment. When I'm fatigued eventually and decide to listen for a call, I will be sure to write a conclusion to this with the outcome! :) Great insight and thanks for the fantastic rating. I am honoured! R

so your going to leave me hanging on that cliff with you huh.. And 'mostly autobiographical?' You see I just found something out about you, I see why your a physicist, you are a man of high intelligence, and think on a much higher level than most, but simple things you forget.. you just told a WOMAN that this story is mostly autobiographical and left it at that LOL women can't deal with things like that , now I'm really setting here on the edge of my set , really you did that come on... lol

Just a wonderful work of art Raoul. The poem tells such a nice story that says so much about the scene. The use of pencils is particularly effective in this scene. Very well done Raoul ~ Steve
