Who am I /Homage to all artists

This was painted on mattboard using acrylic paint and its a part of my search for who i really am i guess, i did this last year, just slapped paint on with no real intent or plan , i suffer from depression and when i feel good its very very good and when its bad its horrid …....
there has been a lot of talk here and in personal conversations about the journey of self discovery so i dug this out and added a border and some lighting on the computer before signing it and posting it here ….

Dedicated to all artists who struggle within and somehow manage to survive and keep doing what they love ….

    Fascinating image, Bev! She looks like a faceless and vulnerable child: little red riding hood. All alone in the darkness. If she could just turn around and see the doorway behind her…perhaps there are many things that could be discovered beyond the darkness. Love and hugs to you Bev. xox

    Sometimes the comments tell you more about yourself than you knew…it is always a surprise. It is all a journey – don’t fear.
    I saw this not as an empty dress, but as a bright cloth being waved from a window – perhaps during a parade…a happy image...
    You are very talented in many media!

    Oh. You have described me. I suffer from depression and also from some highs. Sometimes in between is when I start to really discover myself and start to write. I guess that is why they call artists and writers geniuses and brilliant people. They have these emotions that when they finaly let it out, it is all heartfel and comes from the soul. Wonderful concept.

  • bev langby replied

    welcome and thank u and so true my friend as long as we dont resort to cutting our ears off lol u gotta laugh ….
