Description
"A flightAnd another flight
Of dark birds, winter bodies
Trembling triangles
Whose wings,
Frantically flapping, hardly
Can carry the gray cold, the desolate days
From one place to another"
- Pablo Neruda
I really really like this one! It took a while because of the layers, but it was worth it. I listened to Ulrich Schnauss (a great musician) the whole time I worked on it, and looking back on it I feel like its reflected at least somewhat in the art.
Its oil and acrylic on canvas.

The texture and vivid coloration is powerful! Isn't that odd how the music we listen to winds its way into our art? I have always loved that about painting.

Definitely! The next piece I'm working on is definitely affected by my mood.I believe that both art and music help express our moods, so it only fits that they affect each other!

There's a great power to the colours and I love the impact of the silhouettes. Props for mixing oils and acrylics -- that sounds insanely difficult. ;D

Not really as difficult as I thought, but very very time consuming!

you've made a simple (well no it was properly hard) but very effective and interesting piece of art
I like seeing the texture of the oil and acrylic on the canvas and the gentle strokes you have used

I thought the textures made an interesting contrast, seeing as I'm used to oil only, so I'm glad someone else agrees

A simple yet powerful concept. I love the strong colors and the structure of the paint.
How did you combine oil and acrylics?

Lots of patience! It actually was kinda messy at first, but I worked with it
