Well, I would love to tell you all that I have been painting to my heart's content, but I haven't as I am staying with a friend who likes playing cards.
But as it was Paint Party
FRI Saturday, I thought I could at least show a pic of a painting I made 20 years ago. I was in a very bad mood when I painted it, and was listening to a German Group called *Die Toten Hosen* - the Dead Trousers, who did - and do - lovely, aggressive punky hard rock. And for some reason I needed it that evening. I had a basement flat, where nobody could here me, so I rocked my corner of the world and this picture came out of it:
I called the painting *Industrial Sunset*, and it seems quite appropriate today in view of what has happened in Japan.
It has been painted using oil on Canvas, and is def. not a masterpiece, but it is a memory of a bad mood and some great musik, even if I don't anymore know WHY I was so bad tempered!
I am entering this into
paint party Friday.
Thanks for looking, and have a great day you all, take care!
Such strong color and composition! Well Done! It didn't look a day old. Love to see more of your work. ;)
ReplyDeleteLove the strong use of color with the black. Very eye catching. I can't believe this was painted 20 years ago! The colors are still gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteAwesome very strong and gripping it takes you by the scruff of the neck and drags you in. Anger well directed rock on XOXO Zoe
