Alpha et Omega

Powerful!

It reminds me of the scream.

thanks everybody…..this took quite awhile with ink washes, charcoal mixed with gesso, then acrylic, then ink, then pencil, etc…...

Fabulous drawing Arnold.

Great capture of emotion. Very powerful image.

thank you both, evrybody’s compliments are much appreciated.

Such despair in the face. Awesome work

thank you; stopped by and looked at your page – Great works, the b&w ‘docu-prints’ are really impressive.

I’m really starting to warm to the concept of mixed media and this is a wonderful example of it. I too think it is reminiscent of The Scream, but with an extra something that is purely yours. As I will be 58 in March, I can empathise with this guy in the painting. Time travels very fast and speeds up as you get older, so we mustn’t waste any of it.

Thanks Dave. Yeah, sometime you need other ‘stuff ’ to make a statement or emphasize it.

this is an amazing image – so much power and emotion – reminds me of the Scream but still very unique in its own way – very moving image.

thanks, I remember doing this and the image just started to meterialize. I was looking for or thinking about the “mystery of Life” and the circle-rectangle came as the epiphany. I think Leonardo daVinci’s geometric Man within the circle/square was an influence.

most excllent work

thank you Jamie.

You amaze me pal. Not going to put down a bunch of adjectives here, just a nod of the head a thank-you for doing it.

Great drawing and excellent concept.

Thank you “Lunar”.

wow…............. love your work

very striking portrait

My, what a horrible storm of turmoil but you’ve captured it well. If you were going for the heart you nailed it. If you wanted your audience to feel something when visiting your gallery, you nailed it.
Awesome stuff here.

great work, enigmatic

Sincere thanks to evryone….:)

an exceptionally moving portrait… i have enjoyed looking through your portfolio very
much…...... peace and light….....b

Hi Arnold. This is a fantastic work. Peace!

Intense! peace…

thank you Kendall and Makeba….and Peace to you : ))

Amazing self portrait it says so much to me. It’s like you’ve looked into the mirror and thought it’s all over too soon, and the horror and despair of not having time, the loss of youth, and yes time going fast and no way to slow it down. Really profound, I’m sure we all go through this to some degree.

thank you Cate. You put it exactly as I felt it. I think everyone reaches that time in Life when he/she has that revelation.

I feel it. A very human and passionate drawing.

Thanks Andrea….

I feel so much compassion viewing this and woder at the fleeing years.
Like sand it flows through our fingers…tick tick tick, one second at a time.
A truly AWESOME pice of artwork. Very well done indeed.
Peace,
