overlayed texture of handmade paper (mine)
based on my own reference
self

it's been quite a while (by my standards) that i've painted. i hope this doesn't disappoint. just so you know, this is very stylized, and different from the reference... it's been hard for me moving away from mimickry, i'm happy with this.

it's hard to write what it is i want to express what i mean with this piece. with me, it seems to be either eyes open or eyes closed, this is because i keep my thoughts and emotions well guarded, i don't easily express, not physically and at times not verbally either.
i make myself up, i dress carefully, i wear that pink like armor and no one has any idea what's going on...
and i like it that way.

Wow, what talent. It looks *completely* like a photograph until you full view it. I love the pieces of color in the white. The eyeshadow is great. You've achieved an expression, communicated an emotion, without the eyes, which usually convey the most in a picture. Nice work.

jesus christ sweetie...i adore this one.
adore it.
you must make it a print...you must.

it's emotional in so many respects, but it's the pink...that pink just makes you look so incredibly serene.
mmm....lovely work as always my dear....:heart:

+fav.

A beautiful piece of work. That's all there is to be said. And I love the fact that you started to apply some stylisation to your work, moved away from the direct "copying" from photos, because it really brings out your personal painting style.
