i've started painting

this one is fun hahaha... its scary as shit, but its fun

this'll be a painting for the cjc library... like omg how the hell am i gonna ???

so maybe a few will know the story behind this one.

this piece is about hope.
hope manifested to me in a few of these..

denial, uncertainty, sacrifice, ignorance, desire, people, just the few people.

i'm putting this one together by arranging rose petals to form the big picture.

i give a whole lotta love to every single petal, detail is important to me, emotional detail while painting is important to me, and will be important to whoever views it.

the vague picture is forming now, but hardly, there is a lot of uncertainty... colors, overlapping, placement.. colors, colors, colors..

i worry about how to deal with the layout..the f******* colors. there is no safety net doing this one... its like putting the dressing right on top of the salad, where it belongs, but where there is no turning back.

i paint through the noise, i paint through the shouting, i paint through the fighting, the television static, the music, the blissful wind, the occasional silence, the aid of mnms, the aid of green tea, the coaxing of friends.

oh and why roses? why rose petals?

rose is the passion flower, is the love flower, is the hate flower.

i believe life is a bed of roses. One that needs to be shredded, petal by petal to unveil the true beauty, the entirety that is a life given away, taken apart for something, someone, anything one sees a reason to do so for. that is hope. sweet fucking hope.
