/ this started out as just another doodle but as it was forming I began to see this poor,little old man with his eyes closed.perhaps thinking of times passed by and yet holding his head high as cruel time starts to dwindle away…. pencil on medium tooth paper-color and texture added in PS CS.
Drawn 2008. Age 21. “In the cold dampness I quietly rest against the crumbling wall with my eyes closed; hoping in vain to be forgotten and left alone”* This was just a quick sketch using black biro pen on standard plan paper. I am hoping to expand upon this idea in a more developed drawing sometime in the distant future…
Another classical study from life… charcoal on paper.
As a once psychology major, I was intrigued by Freud’s theory on the id and ego of the human psyche. It has been many years since those classes so my words may be somewhat off. But this piece is a self representation (aren’t they all?) of myself and how the “id” and “ego” play in our life decisions. We all seek pleasure and that constant feeling of euphoria, and our “id”’s only goal is to achieve those feelings without worry or care about the consequences of such actions. It is our “ego” that keeps the “id” in line, allowing us to think before we act, and to be able to foresee what may come of this pleasure seeking. It is a constant battle that wages on beneath our skin and sometimes the “id” overcomes. Some choose to live only by the “id”s bidding and never realize the destruction they leave behind when seeking their pleasures. I have been through that lifestyle once, and as much as I enjoyed such pleasures in bountiful amounts….the aftershock of those actions can still be felt today.
This piece is based on how much we base our decisions off of love. Not condemning it, but rather it intrigues me what those will do in the name of love. Many people have died for love, have fought for love, and have sacrificed for love. It’s a powerful feeling that enslaves us, causing us to react in ways we may not deem normal in a clear state of mind, but like they say, Love is intoxicating. 2nd traditional piece I’ve ever attempted with acrylics. It was (key word, was, because it was sold lol)a 18×24 inch stretched canvas with acrylics and india ink. I miss this piece dearly, but at least I have a wonderful jpeg of it’s remains.
A 20 min pastel sketch I did at a life drawing session last year. The latest “Painters in Modern Times” challenge prompted this entry.
The dark line in the left shoulder creates a nice fold and really finishes this drawing. I like this one for its complimentary use of colour, the feeling of weight around the head, the models hair and the work around the right eye also.

At first, I experimented only with dead animals, and then a human heart which I kept beating for three weeks. But now, I’m going to turn that ray on that body and endow it with life… Tonight, you shall have your proof… / Dr Henry Frankenstein, scientist. Inks

But sometimes, something so bad happens that a terrible sadness is carried with it and the soul can’t rest. Then sometimes, just sometimes, the crow can bring that soul back to put the wrong things right. Peace, Sylvia Lizarraga
