a circus inside her head
Defeated
And broken
She waits on the side line
Knowing that all is over
Once again she stands alone
Each time
She throws herself over the edge
Each time
She looses consciousness
This time
She has played a higher bet
In placing caution
Amongst the wind
She forget
That sooner or later her hand would fold
Again
She finds herself searching for comfort
In her loneliness
Knowing that this is where
She,
In the end
belongs

hey girl… haven’t seen you around in ages! How come you have safe filter set on all your pics (almost all) was there a complaint, I didn’t know that nude paintings needed that application.
I hope you are well!
braidy replied
hey carmen! happy holidays ^ _ ^ how are you??
no complaints thankfully…i put the safe filter on so that they dont come up when i am at work tehehe…
& yep i have been off the charts for a while… since i got back from nyc…. i am slowly trying to get myself back into the swing of it.. just been waiting for inspiration to throw me into a new direction hehe
Cilliers
Ps – love this work, it seems bolder than your earlier stuff, very strong and emotive.
Cilliers
Oh, don’t worry about new direction, your were evolving anyway… i think your direction is to eventually have the whole body in the painting and then go from there. You have a unique style and make sure you don’t lose it ok!
udonchow
I see a slight evolvement in your works, Braidy, they are still very beautiful and soulful nonetheless :D
braidy replied
thankyou ellen ^ _ ^
this one was a bit of a step out of my comfort zone… not because of the subject, but because of the paper…
it is so tricky to move from using massive pieces of watercolour paper to A4 size… tehehe, gonna try and get the hang of it though
Tordo
It amazes me how twisted and relaxed at the same time is her look.
braidy replied
thankyou tordo ^ _ ^
your compliment hits the nail on the head exactly with regards to the look i was aiming for…
Phil Eckert
Strong and expressive work. The wind is a good place for caution. The circus never stays too long.
braidy replied
...yes & then when the circus is gone you always miss it ^ _ ^
thankyou phil
