I was attracted to a woman who unfortunately drank heavily. She was younger than me and wanted to marry and have children. Still paying child support and father to five of my own children I had said no and asked if she'd like a cat instead.
Although very attracted, I realized I could not achieve the level of success I hoped for, and she could not achieve her dream of parenthood if we stayed together.
I painted this on the night I decided we would need to go our separate ways.
