Scape Goat

I did this painting as a test for what I am going to paint on my motorcycle. I will be painting the girl, complete with collar and hands on the top of the tank of my motorcycle. I will be adding angels, eyes, and the number 808 on the fenders and sides of the tank. I am very excited about this project. And not a bad beginning... I got a painting out of the deal too!

Seriously, I really do like the message in this painting. So many times we are accused of doing wrong when we have done nothing. It has happened repeatedly in my life, and there is nothing more excruciating than trying to convince someone that you are innocent! Seems sometimes that the person who yells the loudest is the one that ends up being believed. At least that is how it has been for me. Oh well, a Scape Goat is an intregal part of a dysfunctional family...

Martyr

Well, this is a small 12x12 oil on canvas. I like the name Martyr as it is something that I have never addressed in a painting before. Shoot, we have all had the displeasure of knowing a martyr, havent we? And truth is, we have all probably been guilty of being one ourselves before. Anyway, she definitely is a prima donna of martyrdom!!

I lost interest in this painting half way through, as my next painting started burning a hole in my head!! haha... has that ever happened to any of you? I feel like I cheated this painting, by not giving it my full attention! I hope it doesnt show too badly... and most of all, I hope you all enjoy it...

Opening Pandoras Box

Well, this is the newest painting. While I am not overjoyed with the outcome technically of this painting, I do like what it has to say. I have spent most of my life running from emotions that I am assuming would be quite unpleasant to take a good look at. Emotions that have been buried for years and years. I believe that if I was ever able to open up my heart and take a good look inside, it may very well be like "Opening Pandoras Box".

I hope that you enjoy the message that this one has to give. I hope that it provokes thought...
