Rebel Rebel


Rebel Rebel 1mx 1.5m canvas in oils
unfinshed in pics...waiting for some good light...will post asap...
A painting would usually take me a few weeks to a few months,
this one took a day.
i needed to get all these emotions out of me, so i threw them on a canvas, melted into it, getting totally lost in my painting...
its raw, and its probably my best work yet.
now i understand, that it doesnt have to be about painting a symbol, or a flower, or a nude....
its about how the painting feels, how it vibrates out to the veiwer, the energy that enimates. i knew this... now i TOTALLY GET IT!
This is my experience, its my emotions smeared around in colour, its
my hurt, my pain, my release, my love.
it was never meant to be about him ... yet its all about him

Have just read over your previous posts and realise you've been on quite a ride. Thinking of you and sending lots of light.

They look great. Loving the naked flame vibe. That pure blue at the centre of a flame on the bunsen burner. Emotions are a chemistry of their own. They can create such beauty and such explosions too. Interested to see where this takes you.
