The moment when everything goes away and your left with your thoughts

Somehow I manage to switch between something like the bee picture and this almost completely flawlessly. It's like looking at one switches gears. With the bees I was relaxed and kind of trying to make a cute illustration. With this I was pouring, dragging, splashing and mixing various medium at different consistencies in a much more intense way. The bees sat on my lap as I drew and colored them, this piece lie on the ground while I walked around and around it countless times, trying to decide if the composition was working. With how wet the paper got from the ink and washes of color, I had to force myself not to touch it too much. The inks bleed, the colors run and eventually you get a piece that looks like a blue raspberry puke and while some artists make thousands doing that, for me it's just puke on my living room floor and that's not very productive. So while this piece isn't quite done, I am happy with the mood and the care that emanates (at least to me) from the figure. The title is "Uptown Lovers' Brawl (towel dry)" and it conveys a personal moment of a womans reflection (alone) on an earlier argument or fight between her and her lover...a still moment to reflect on questions involving worth, love, sadness and despair.
