Thin Ice

I wasn't planning on painting this one today, but I was reading a bit about the band Pink Floyd and looking through some pictures when I saw one of Syd doing a handstand. This pose popped into my head with the lyrics to thin ice and I had to try and paint it.


The Thin Ice

Momma loves her baby
And daddy loves you too.
And the sea may look warm to you babe
And the sky may look blue
But ooooh Baby
Ooooh baby blue
Oooooh babe.

If you should go skating
On the thin ice of modern life
Dragging behind you the silent reproach
Of a million tear-stained eyes
Don't be surprised when a crack in the ice
Appears under your feet.
You slip out of your depth and out of your mind
With your fear flowing out behind you
As you claw the thin ice.
