Sometimes you just feel like doing something different in art. Something, not to please other clients, or anyone else...just you. It isn't a selfish thing-I rarely find a moment once 'bout every 2 years, it doesn't take much time. In fact, this was a very quick painting, but one that was in my brain for years... When it comes to oils, I treat them differently then I do most mediums. If I am working on something for myself - it's all about adding texture.
A description of the painting would most likely be: a self portrait, "my beautiful mess." I've always liked greys and nuetral colors, but for some reason I am drawn to red when I have done paintings for myself-(maybe in this case it's a covering blood of Jesus aspect). We have a representation of my crazy hair on top, with ideas flying out above. I am always thinking about something, the next project, a lesson from God, a deep thinker in many ways. A straight line near the mouth on the left, indicative of the lines around my mouth. A picture of movement with the arm, indicative of the constant movement and "always doing something" attitude I have as well as the running that I am currently into. The right squiggly image would be the other representation of my hand, my hands are my job, my talent.
Thanks for viewing "my beautiful mess"
I may not be beautiful, but I know the Lord sees us each individually as the most beautiful thing in this sinful world that He would have come to earth to die, for me alone, for you alone. Amazing...
