Proper titles for my paintings are often elusive, so I'll just name it after what inspired it, for now.
This was mostly just an experiment with various techniques. I had been out in the garden planting cabbages... I thought the texture and patterns of the cabbages were interesting, and wanted to use them in a painting. Also, I use water soluble oil paints, so I wanted to see what effects I could create by lifting paint off the canvas, rather than simply adding to it. Using the oil paints almost like watercolours. I drew a figure (based loosely on myself) on the canvas and just started adding paint with no real plan in mind.
It's been through various, very different looking, stages. Stages where I hated it and stages where I loved it. I'm happy with the end result, though there are some niggling problems I could have avoided had I not given in to frustration and rushed it. I'll probably go back and fix them when the current layer has dried.
I just saw u submit this and it looks amazing. I've stared at it a couple times before i read it was a real painting and i was like "is this a picture or a photomanipulation? It's REALLY good. I can't imagine how long it would take someone to reach a level of proficiency this great in their artwork. I can't say anything else...its damn near perfect!
This is absolutley gorgeous, and I'm even more fond of it after reading how it came about. Indecision strikes very close to home, and it's nice to see someone using that to their advantages!

It seems as if she's emerging from, or disappearing into, a mist. It's a really interesting, somewhat surreal effect. I also love the minimal color palette.
I've always wanted to try water-soluble oil paints, so this is an inspiration!

Expose yourself to your deepest fear; after that, fear has no power, and the fear of freedom shrinks and vanishes. You are free.~Jim Morrison
