I’ve seen her heart- and this time not literally- and I’m telling you right now that she cares more about your lives than you will ever know.

“Oh Amy, I hear the song of your sadness.”
“I’m not sad.”
“Then why are you crying?”Spent many, many hours livestreaming and working on this painting - my tribute and goodbye to the magnificent Amy Pond (and how she inspired the greatest painter that ever lived!) I of course purposely researched Van Gogh works such as Starry Night and Sunflowers and would like to think if Amy stayed for a portrait, Vincent painted something like this.
“The Song of Your Sadness” is a companion piece to “The Roar of Our Stars.” You can pre-order limited edition prints in the grand opening of my shop!!
Can we just remember, River just lost two of the three people she trusts in this universe. She never got to say goodbye to her father, and she could only kiss her mothers hand goodbye because someone had to watch that angel. The Doctor breaks down, he screams and cries and rages all the while his wife stands composed, thrashing internally with a white hot anger. But she is the Doctors anchor and his rudder. If he wont help himself then she must do it for him. From the very beginning to the end of her life, River has silently sacrificed herself, either physically or emotionally, for those around her. River may have the feistiness of her mother but she has inherited the great burden of compassion from her father.
They leave. Because they should. Or they find someone else. And some of them…some of them forget me. I suppose in the end… they break my heart.
Some left me, some got left behind and some…not many but some, died.
Yeah, I talk to people. Women. Talk to them ‘cause I can’t talk to you.

The relationship of Frodo and Gollum, the most psychological and symbolic in “The Lord of the Rings”, reveals a dark labyrinth of choices and split personalities. On the surface Gollum shows what Frodo could become should he succumb to the ring’s powerful temptations, but by sparing Gollum and mastering his own temptations, Frodo chooses his own salvation, both body and soul. This painting echoes Judas’ cruel and tender kiss, identifying the savior, since ultimately and unexpectedly, Frodo’s conflicted mercy leads to the unwilling sacrifice of Smeagol, which heals all Middle-earth.

Amy: We’re such tiny parts of your life, aren’t we?
The Doctor: Amy, you are enormous parts of my life. And you are all I ever remember.
