Moody

Here are some of my paintings. The first two are the recent ones.

This one I painted after a bout with deep depression. Self-loathing, fear, despair, and sadness all contributed. Unfortunately I didn't feel better after I painted. Usually I do. Oil on hard canvas. The flash distorts the color on the left side, and the photo doesn't capture the greens I also used. I had this image in my head before I painted it.

This one I painted after trying to do my taxes. I was very angry with a lot of things. I was shaking when I got home. I told Kris to leave me alone, put on some Nine Inch Nails (The Fragile) and this just came out of me. I had no idea what I was going to paint. Mostly just anger and hopelessness was what I was feeling. Oil on stretched canvas.

This one and the next I painted in happier days. Gosh, I think Alex was just born when I did these. Drastic from the first too eh? Acrylic (metallic and non) on sanded wood.
