I finished this piece last night and it was my first piece that was intended, from start to finish, to meld the expressive and "abstract-symbolism" styles that I love. Overall, I am pleased. It's not my favorite piece on the planet, nor my favorite that I have created, but I was very happy (after a questionable start) with how the eye, brushwork and color combination worked. I think the red background is torn for me between looking like an elegant lace and a horrifically scarred face (kind of contradictory huh?). which in turn makes the beauty, intensity, and movement unsure as of this point. I like the brushwork, the colors, and the composition, but I am not sure the emotion that sticks when I see it. Anyway, I'd say I'm happy with the outcome, unsure of it's "ability" or effectiveness, an in love with the interaction that is created with the expressionistic marks and the extreme detail of the "abstract-symbolist" marks
