I once made love to a woman and as she orgasmed she arched her head back and cried.  It moved me so, because the tears were those tears of the heart finally getting what it had long yearned for.  So I was inspired to paint this painting.  Later, I met a woman named Rose, who became a dear friend. After meeting Rose I did some touchup on the painting and it came out looking just like her.  So I gave it to her as a gift. A tear can be a wonderful sign of tenderness and letting go.
