Sometimes I worry that my storytelling is kinda pretentious/cheesy/unclear, and this was one of those pics. The script for the scene that they gave me was one one where Chase on some level knows that this embrace is a bad idea, but chooses instead to think about the "good old days". I was told this is before shit really hits the fan in this storyline too, and wanted to reflect that in the painting;
So they're looking at the sunset, with golden clouds behind them - but also a storm rolling in. The decay of the town they're in is visible everywhere. It just ain't a happy place.
