Description
Acrylic on canvas, 30x60cm.
I painted this as an experimental exercise in brush techniques and colour overlaying. I won't go into reams on what it's about, but its subject has very much in common with that of this digital image I created a few months ago.
Thank you very much for stopping by and taking a look, and your feedback is much appreciated. If any of you have any thoughts about what this painting represents to you, I would love to hear them. Thank you :-)
Thanks also to Cassie for invaluable help as always :-)

I particularly like this work! Confident, fresh, vital and accomplished. Beautiful natural colours used. Would make an excellent focal point in a modern room with white walls

'It ain't just a river in Egypt'. A normal human response to trauma blown out of proportion through fear of the unknown, denial does weigh so heavily upon us when we hide from truth. Understanding reality and personal truths lifts the perceived weight and brings the true nature of enlightenment to us. The truth is never as frightening as that which we can imagine. Great work my friend, so happy to see you breaking into some traditional expressionism at last! hugest hugs & love

I like every detail in this composition, right down to the small purple stains on the lower right of the figure. I know the weight of denial is a formidable burden in our lives but this image suggests exactly the opposite to me, someone who's conscious of their limitations and bears them with no grudge. (I wonder if this means anything to you :)) I'd love to have this piece on my wall.

Great color palette. There's a wonderful rhythm in this, like long slow deep breaths, as well as exhales. So happy to see your new direction. It is wonderful. When one is fed up carrying all that denial around, we stop and look at the truth. Timing seems always to be in sync, and we see clearly the problem and the solution. Suddenly, our backs feel relief. x;)

Brush your teeth flying upsidedown before playing hocky with cyclops and inner ear canals you Fred Astaire embrionic duck!! (well you did ask, didn't you...? :-) ))

Not a toothbrush - it's definitely a hairbrush (remembering your beautiful hair, Jim:-). Something coming from your new homecountry - I see a boomerang there. OK, if you must know I really like this painting, the whole of it not only the fascinating details. There's something... eternal? in it, how everything is winding around, spiral of life and time (isn't that feature in boomerangs - they always come back but you must be very skilled to be able to capture it...). I so love to watch this painting of yours, it brings so many feelings and thoughts into my mind.... Take care there far away! hugs!
