"Raw" 5-10-2014 daily painting #41. I like playing with elements of the story. What glimpse gives what clue or insight to the meaning. They keyhole into the work. That way the viewer is pulled into the story. This last grouping I did over the weekend a little darker than I normally go. What I like is the darkness is balanced with humor and strength. I mean really deep angst is for the young. Those of us who have lived a bit know your scars are trophies not easily come by. Not airbrushed out of the picture by shiny computer techs. They are the keyholes that pull people in around us. Makes a laugh richer and a kindness sweeter. I am glad this is showing up in the work when I ask it too.
