Dark Mood-Get a Grip

Well, let me tell you about this painting.  It was painted very quickly (under an hour) while listening to Joe Cocker, after being dumped by a guy.  The painting is a very stylized self-portrait based on what I was feeling at the time. How could this happen?  Trust, when it is breached is very hard to grapple with.  I let another person change how I felt about myself.  You can see tears welling up...it's all very dramatic and soulful.  Happy to report I've grown up a bit since then.  Nobody changes how I feel about myself anymore, but I still like the painting.  It's a bookmark in my life- and very personal. It's hung in my bathroom over the toilet so any male guests have a chance to ponder while peeing.
