    love the crow…might he want to be landing on the chair that seems to have been tossed by a bit of turbulence?
    and seems that the passion may still be comming through, illuminating the colors that were painted over it.
    great work, Mimi.

  • mimi yoon replied

    thank you carlos… the passionate ruin remains underneath but as a separate entity… and yes, illuminating… how can it not? ruined or not, it was done with passion and all passionate things illuminate… : )

    this reminds me of a dark horrific night mimi, transforming into a dream with those darkend edges.
    I see a zombie land.
    once again, another creative piece that inspires and provokes !

  • mimi yoon replied

    ooOOo… jared…..
    have you been there?
    a secret… i close my eyes when horror movie previews run on tv….
    and i still see the possessed girl from the exorcist sitting at the edge of my bed with her head spinning when i enter my room (even when the light’s on)... yet i paint these… i’m not sure what’s going on… :P

  • chemis

    i sleep but then wake up for hours on end in the dark.
    there is so much raw emotion in this, Mimi
    the different colored layers express different thoughts/emotions to me, all thrown together – it’s exhausting!
    i am completely drawn to that swatch of bright red – very haunting

  • mimi yoon replied

    thank you much chemis… i love what you see… i always love what you see… we are completely opposite… i stay up as long as i can to devour most of the dark then sleep the very end of it… : )

  • scott allison

    I don’t sleep at night either. A beautiful painting Mimi… even if it was passionately painted over another painting. sigh Don’t torture yourself, my dear friend. One person’s ruined painting is another person’s treasured image (sorry, i just made that shit up). Peace, happiness and maybe just a little laughter to you :-)

  • mimi yoon replied

    thank you keiran… it is now no longer ruined and i like this piece….
    peace, happiness, and tons of laughter to you keiran !!! : )

    Freekinn great work. I have a friend who is a fantabulouse artist, every time she came over to my old house, where she started a painting ( of a landscape of my beautiful back yard ) she would re- work the painting, everytime under a different mood, circumstance, group dynamic ! The painting now rests in my new room, it’s not really a landscape any more …..... but everybody LoVeS iT ! And so do i, having sen all the changes it went through and how it started. I Love it more than ever …...... !
    FRIG ! Thats the coolest abstract expression i seen since the painting that lives in my room :]
    Great and amazing work Miss Yoon.

    If art was easy then everyone would do it and there would be no artists. Your passion is part of the gift, I suppose you could try this, turn it upside down and start something aimless…

    WOW. wowowow. this is beyond words for me…
    except (with writers, i’m sorry, but there is always an except lol)
    to say that the color, chair and crow leaves me speechless, as this painting could be the cover for the novel I’m writing about crows, my life as a 7 yr old bound and gagged ina chair on the top of a cavern peak, and the blood red sky of storm.
    this is amazing.

  • mimi yoon replied 10 days ago

    wow…. now it’s my turn for a wow or two or three…
    your brief description of the novel you’re writing is this painting… wow… thanks for the comment and compliments and maybe this could be the cover for your novel…. : )

  • Kristin  Reynolds

    thanks, Mimi. :)
    this novel is a creative non-fiction/memoir style book of my insane and tragic childhood. I have years of regressed memories due to this, so this is a book trying to remember through imagination, filling in blanks where the blanks are, and adding the facts as well…anyway, my little girl (me) I have just always had this vision of her, still (the lost memories here) bound and gagged at the top of a peak in a cavern, tied to a bare wppden chair. there are ravens, 3 and then the head 1…and a brewing black/gray/red storm over head…
    anyway, this just struck me with synchronicity. :)
    ya gotta love that, and hey, if I can ever get my life together for long enough to finish (I’m 3/4 the way done the first draft) I will let you know re: the cover. ;)
    thanks, lovely lady! xo
