Description
Also known as 'How I feel when I'm without' in reference to the person I painted it 'for'. I didnt give it to her, but it was a way of expressing my deep anxieties and depressions I had over her, a girl who was in actual fact the first person I ever fell for. For those reading this who know who I am; this was Emily. I wasn't sure in which category to put this, because although it is semi-still-life, it was not my intention to portray it realistically; hence the use of irrational colours. However it is not entirely surreal, because it was influenced by real emotion and real objects and not entirely dream world as some of my creations are (it is worth pointing out here perhaps, that although I regard myself as being a surrealistic person; I have actually done very little surreal pictures. This is because most of my dream scapes rarely meet paper; and when they do it is only in sketches. This is probably due to the fact I think so much about my dream worlds that I never get round to actually doing anything with them; as they constantly evolve in my head. However I hope to evolve further by actually painting the damn ideas). This is therefore; a purely expressionistic painting; describing how I felt at the time. You will notice the broken form and slugging pose of the figure and the blue colours; against a plain ochre background. Reflecting the soul searching and depression I went though.
