Description
Symbolist work on an old issue I'd like to outgrow - a tendency to worry and dwell on perceived personality faults. I think many people, especially women, are DNA - bound to struggle with guilt all their lives. The split face reflects the worldly mask, the profile is the confusion and sadness caused by negative emotion and inner conflict. The lyretail of the bird is her ironic crown, and the wings of a false angel. The snake is the weighted scepter of self - defeat. The sun (female) looks on with benign indifference, accepting the traps we set for ourselves. The corner figure is the accuser, anxious that she remain in her self - imposed prison.Featured here - thank you! storytelling-artists.tumblr.co… Beyond the Surface

I wanted to say more, trust me you wouldn't believe how extraordinary I thought the piece was. But I was left there staring at it not knowing what exactly to say. : )
Though, you are very welcome! Have you listened to the song yet? Remember to look at your own piece while listening.

I really love the two faces of the blue figure ... but then, of course, I have always been fascinated by duality.

Arg! there is something wrong with my account, I only just caught a glimpse of this painting at the bottom of my page.
I love that coy pose she is doing and considering the subject of the painting I bet she is going for the alluring factor of it. I think women should be proud of their wants and power but the current state of the public view of women as being pro feminist for wanting to resemble paris hilton and linsey lohan 'wanna be's' sickens the living **** out of me. that is not what our brave historic females fought and died for, selling yourself as a dumb-bimbo-nimpho is not something to be proud of or excel for.

Holy crap, I hope 'current era' feminists don't want to have anything to do with celebutards, I can't think of anything more sad or backward. Well I can, but if I did, I'd start crying

When ever I go to youtube they have those doe eyed bimbos all over the place , I love LisaNova for her last video where she slammed them. I could go on a day long rant over this but I needs to go to sleep. (love these smilies)
