Description
Self Portrait in the style of Francis Bacon, done as part of my AS in Fine Art this year.Broken
Twisted
Disjointed
And yet, peering through the struggling strokes is my face,
Eyes closed, ignoring the bitter fate around me
Simply trying to find a place
in the darkness.
Its not real
No, it surely isn't and that anyone can tell
but inside sometimes its how I feel.
When all there is is emptiness,
Brimming over the edges of my soul through my eyes
And everything seems like the lights are out
And silver webs of angst wrap themselves around my mind
Controlling my feelings and making me blind.
But then, the silver, gossamer threads do break
and I'm free again.
Without the sadness and melancholy of living;
there would not be the joy.

I like doing potraits; especially of pretty people, or interesting people who have a lot of personality to paint. From a purely physical point of veiw, I like doing it because, I know what they look like a lot better. Its interesting to take notice of the tiniest little deviations in their skin and curves when you draw, and its almost like getting to know them all over again. Doing this (which had a lot of background work going into it, which I will upload into 'scraps' when I get my Art Sketch Book back from school) let me peer into my own depths. Everyone should try it; you might find something new.

I like. I can't paint portraits for shit, which is kinda annoying but I just sort of skim over than when I'm asked to do one...
