I Watch You Paint

As a painting is painstakingly created a relationship is slowly being destroyed. This almost elegiac piece watches the man as he watches the woman, watches the woman as she extricates herself from the man.

It is almost painfully sad.

An animated short shot and rotoscoped based on the poem 'I Watch You Paint' by Albert Garcia (published by Prairie Schooner, a US national literary quarterly). It was created by Timothy Guthrie who you may also have heard about as artsyfartsytim.
