Artist's Comments

Had this unfinished face just hating on me every time I woke up and couldn't think of anything to do with it... so finally, yesterday, because it was rainy and because I had to stop thinking about food, I finished it. And now even though it's a regurgitation of an old idea I lost somewhere in the mess of student life three months ago, I'm content ;) And also have satisfied my compulsion to leave nothing unfinished.

(dimensions to be updated)

acrylic, oil, gouache on canvas

Gouache on canvas? That sounds pretty novel

i really love this 1... one of ur best i think, love the composition... bold colours, its so typical u, meaning its so typically unique like all ur work, even unique from ur previous

haha i know wat u mean, i have about 10 unfinished canvas's in my room, waiting for a rainy day ... 2 bad it happens to be the longest drought in over 100 years atm. lol. one day, one day

Thank you ;) I stopped myself before I could muddle the colors, which is why in this piece they seem so vibrant... I quite like the effect.

And yes, unfinished canvases may even be more daunting than blank ones. It's painful.

I absolutely love your paintings. The eyes are so dark, and i really like the feeling in this!! I really like how the dark areas balance each other out, and the bright colours pull foward and the soft ones retreat. excellent!
