“I went to the park and saw this kid flying a kite. The kid was really excited. I don't know why, that's what they're supposed to do. Now if he had had a chair on the other end of that string, I would have been impressed.” Mitch Hedberg

"Floating and fighting, like a kite on a string

Till you cut through my tether and changed everything
From the sky you looked small, but I loved you the same
So I darted back quickly to spell out your name
And when they say that I'm just a terrible kite
You'll tell them you're proud of my marvelous flight"

I don't have much to say about her. this is an illustration for Kite by Copeland. i was just trying to get the feeling of the song into the painting. this song always makes me want to cry even though the lyrics are kind of happy.  this is the first full painting since i was a sophomore in high school.
