Artist's Comments

A 'social document' my lecturer called it. I was stuck for ideas to paint so decided to go with; my life. My kids to start with.

I wanted to do big imposing pictures of situations where my children exhibit challenging behaviour... When the main experience of motherhood is not enjoyment and adoration.

In my previous attempts the facial expressions were a bit lame, so this one was mainly to see if I could get some more emotion into the face. Tried the four in one approach as well to depict a few different stages her protesting.

Looks like she is being tortured, but the reason for this wobbly was that her brother tried to give her a kiss; she didn't like the idea.

Tell Noa not to worry, I have this affect on women too.

I really like the texture in each of the sections, but especially the subtle use of green in the top right. great work

You see subtle, that’s good! Subtle isn't a particular strength of mine.

(So that’s how subtle is spelt.... how educational!)

I know what you mean, i too struggle with subtle. you've done well here. i like the quality of the line drawing too.

Mua kiehtoo nuo eri 'vaiheet'. Tykkään kaikista erikseen ja yhdessä. Tuo yläoikeella on ihanan rikas ja täynnä elämää, sitten taas esim. ylävasemmalla pidän tosi paljon sun viivasta ja varjoista... herkkä ja täydellinen. Ovat hyviä juu-u. :nod:

i like the viewpoint that you are taking. far too often children are depicted as idelic sweet inocent angels that beam goodness from every orifice. This is not only falce in itself but presents a falce picture of what it is to love someone. Some people just cant grasp the idea that love is unconditional, wether behaviour is good or not.

I must bring that up next time I discuss my work with the tutor... 'Screaming kid' is not nearly as deep and insightful as; 'a false picture of what it is to love someone'. Yep, that’s the one I am going with....

Thank you for taking the time to comment.

np, anytime. Random feedback is half the point of putting your work up, no? =)
