Thank you very much for the DD! I appreciate the time you've spent to look at this piece. Thank you *GloomyUnderwoods for suggesting it! :hug:

Therapy piece!

Heart

Been feeling pretty stressed out lately. It's good to pick up some paints again. This was done with acrylics, prismacolor pencils and some ballpoint pen. Complementary schemes are fun-this picture makes me think of inflammation and passion.

Overload. Stress. Overlapping of emotions and feelings. Accidents. Confusion.

I used my fingers to smear the paint in some areas. Man, did that feel good. :heart: What I like about this painting is the skeletal/muscular influences. Tried to turn tendons into designs. I can feel the whiplash. Pretty sure this will be in my show later this year.

Done on a scrap piece of cardboard. I have no clue how long this took. My mind sort of zoned out. Used references from different anatomy books for the vertebrae.

Thank you for the comments. :love:

EDIT
I had to add a frame to this-it's so awesome. Touched up the tears a bit in photoshop. This is my new favorite picture in my gallery. :heart:

EXPRESSION!!!

There's a lot of emotion in this, it's a very powerful image. You're amazing with paint too. ^^

The colors are really intense, but the message is pretty brutal, too.

Unused space. Oooooh!

Very impressionistic Painting. The vertical two division pleases me. Above the sharp and conkret lines conturen and colored. Below the floating smudged. For me the symbol of the vertical distribution of the person. Above the rational consciousness sphere. Below the world of the animalicly and vegetarian. The spinal column is a detail quite anatomical. A typical AmandaArtStyl element is the ornamental lines at the head after ArtNoveau. The total Impression out of the color is very fresh like a surrealer dream.
Brilliant.

This is so raw and expressive. I love the idea of smearing paint with your fingers...like when you were a kid and you just stuck your hand in the paint and sloshed it onto a piece of construction paper. This seems very personal, but I think it's great that the viewer can relate to it too, because it's so human.

And thus I clothe my naked villainy
With old odd ends, stol'n forth of holy writ;
And seem a saint, when most I play the devil.
