#Repost @amaretta_ ・・・ "Bury all your secrets in my skin." Snuff - Slipknot . It's been quite a while since I felt this connected to a painting. It's for the first topic of the Month of Love challenge... "secrets". And I know I'm late to the party as always but life's crazy ) It's still not done and I don't know if it ever will be. Keep reading for a bit of emotional/art rambling : ) . A couple of weeks ago I had a long talk with Adam. One of the main things we talked about was art and its meaning and if we as artists can capture certain emotions or moments in our paintings in order to share them with other people. And how do we achieve that? Anyway, this is exactly the thing I struggle with a lot. I know I draw and paint very generic, random stuff most of the time but especially with my sketches, I try to express emotions and feelings, which is not easy. Really. And with this painting... I again tried to convey something that I can't even really put into words. I think the experiences that shape us over the years are what make us feel in certain ways when we look at a piece of art. Which means that no one will have the exact same feeling I do because we live different lives and in the end, I can't really MAKE anyone feel the exact same thing, even if I was better at painting. . However, this painting means a lot to me. It's been there for a long time, in the back of my mind and the other day I finally was brave enough to work on it. I say brave because this one had a lot to do with facing things that I keep buried. I don't want to get into this too much, especially not here but I wanted to say that painting this helped me a lot and I realized once again that working on your own personal (REALLY personal in this case) art is incredibly important. At least for me because there are things I don't talk about and this way it's like having a talk with myself (oh wow....). Anyway I know it doesn't look like much but ugh... my heart hurt a bit while painting this. . That being said... I will keep working on this for a while but for now, I need to take a step back. Thank you for reading <3 I'm pretty sleepy so I'm sorry if this didn't make any sense huehue
