Description
Acrylics on Canvas 60 x 80 cmthis painting took me far to long to paint,
it started of with the woman sitting in complete darkness,
then a thing really scared my about her beacuse without me wanting to it had turned to look like my good friend Suzzi who passed away quite latly...
...so I started repaint her as a man and put a lighter more smoky background, she didnΒ΄t look good as a man so I repainted her as a woman again but keept some of the more masculin fetures in his/her face and she became a more androgynos woman but that I thought was good, still it was far to clear and bright in colors...
...today when I started working with the painting again, I fist tried to put her behind a lot of smoke, but not untill I gave it all a half see through yellow wash of acrylics I finally though it was done...
Hope you like her...
Flower Power and Peace!
D.H.

I like the concept of this framed portrait - cool colours inside a warm frame and subject giving the ups/smoking depicts a self-assured character who couldn't care less what others think. I also like the combination of hard/soft lines. Well done. Memorable.

Yes, Pantry, I do. a year in hell is worth two in a bush. what ever wound they afflicted me with became my mouth.

oooh yeah I have noticed that you really like wounded and distorted mouths... why?
π: 0 β©: 1
Do I? I fear my mouth. My mouth wounds me daily. The demons know my deepest fear lies in my mouth. The swallowing of the tongue.

...as well as puking my self to death in my sleep...

I was just threatened by a Polish drunk who sleeps in the park, that was quite scary! But I was getting too close to his bench, you see, looking for spliffs.

ha ha ha yeah but you where tresspassing in to this guys area...
did you find any splifs?
π: 0 β©: 1
I find weave all the time. I call it weave. Because of WEAVEWORLD the Barker book. I have a pocket full of tab ends right now, just walked for two hours to harvest them. I've been well 'woven' each night for the last two months, free. There's an asian gang who leave loads in the same spot each day. yesterday they dropped a spliff's worth of weave in the gutter and I spent ten minutes picking it out of dirty leaves. Just so I could weave.
