    I see an accentuated female form with an androgenous face, probably a model on the catwalk. Is she so focused there appears to be no recognition to what has happened to her?

  • Anthea Slade replied

    Wow Julie, thank you so much for your thoughtful and considered response to Love Bombed. I thoroughly enjoyed reading your words. Yes my love bombed book is a fascinating journey. Have you heard of the term ‘love bombing’ before? I painted the image a few years ago now and have been contemplating the novel since. I began it in 2006 and half finished and am wanting to go back and finish it in 2008. Wrote another book last year called RAW. I am needing to edit and create an art work for that one now :-)

  • Paul Hamilton Photography

    Paul Hamilton ...

    love the colours – very dramatic

  • Anthea Slade replied

    Thanks Paul am glad you love the dramatic colours of Love Bombed.

  • Vasile Stan

    Vasile Stan

    A very bold and emotional statement in shades of red with a touch of japanese art.

    The intense red over the heart area, the sadness in her face and the self absorbtion look tell of very strong emotions. The well defined strokes with a feeling of bleeding talk about not only hurt, but also give a general sense of angst and perhaps even a bit of anger.

    This is a masterful composition which shows an innate talent in bringing emotions and drama to canvas in such a condensed way. Superbly done Anthea, and I just wonder how I have missed to comment on this outstanding (self?) portrait.

    LOVE BOMBED

  • Anthea Slade replied

    Wow Vasile thank you so much for your stunning response to Love Bombed. Your reading and response to this work leaves me almost speechless. Your insight and vision of Love Bombed is so well articulated and deeply intune with deeper workings and motivations of this creation…I am simply blown away my friend. Also thank you for the black frame…it looks beautiful and provides a sense of completion to my painting. Thank you…Thank you…

  • Yuri Lev

    Yuri Lev

    I smell a self portrait here. It’s intelligent use of red juxtaopposed on neutral tones imply a highly emotionally charged content.

  • Anthea Slade replied

    Thanks Yurilev I love your reading of Love Bombed and yes it does have highly emotionally charged content. It is more an internal self portrait then an external self portrait.

  • ToastedGhost

    ToastedGhost

    When I had my own large studio it was always the comment “Oh dear how do you work in all this chaos and mess” my reply was “I cannot work in a sterile environment”

  • Anthea Slade replied

    Know exactly what you mean…my studio has chaos and colour and it inspires me to continue creating. Sterile is not for me either.

  • Anthony R. Plastino III

    Anthony R. Pla...

    Its like you have caught her in the instant of an atomic detonation – she wouldn’t see it coming, therefore she had no time to react – She’ll be dead before she can feel it. Nice :) (sorry if that’s too morbid)

  • Anthea Slade replied

    Love Bombed was born out of a challenging experience and she like a goddess arising from the ashes, the courageous soldier surviving the war. One day she will be on the cover of a book I am writing. I would like to write a poem about her…but when I start I get overwhelmed because there is so much I want to say.
