Here's one from early june. I really thought it stank for a long time, but now I like it, and think it is one of my best. It is a study in extreme contrast of mood, from extreme sadness and perhaps anger to sublime peace and happiness.  Yeah yeah I know its all cheesy 19th century Romanticism blah blah blah. I don't care, I had an extreme amount of fun making it. Anyway, enjoy...  :)
