Description oil, acrylic, and ink on canvas

an experiment in expressionism. the background has lots of scribbly rants on it that are not really legible in the photo (or on the actual piece for that matter)

that is absolutely beautiful. i love the way the writing fades in and out as if it had been written on an unstable surface and then rippled. the figure is experiencing such torn emotions, it seems so agonizing and painfully sad but it is expressed so perfectly well the way you painted it. great work

Thanks The writing was done with gel pens, and the actual fiber of the canvas made it look even more scribbbly and rippled than my usual poor handwriting, so it was kind of a happy accident.

It's interesting, but it seems a little awkward (I've never been a really big fan of expressionism). But it's nicely done nonetheless.. the scribbled writing in the background is a nice touch.

Thanks, its not something that I am totally happy with, but I have had worse experimental failures.

It's not a failure if your heart went into it!
