Artist's Comments

Oil paints - pressboard

Daily Deviation

Given 2006-06-04

Self 2003 by ~dx522 is the kind of colour work we all inspire to create. This piece seems to be a learning experience both for the artist and for onlookers. A lovely, well balanced composition rounds the piece off well. (Suggested by ~modest-rye and Featured by `De-Profundis)

What the hell? There's one comment on here? Pffft.

This is amazingly original and expressive. The colors are beautifully chosen, and the brush strokes are chunky, so to speak, but they surprisingly create a lot of detail.

Overall, this is very thought provoking for a self-portrait. Well done, and congrats on the Daily Deviation. 8)

Definetely brilliant! Your work is symbolic. Right? I can see the loss of a child and the sin of either xaving it or losing it, I see the face you treasure and your exposed heart. This is so strong!
