15 Life Fundamentals (Page 2)

How did I start painting? Finger paints back in nursery school.

My personal opinion is that art classes are a waist of time... You can't teach a person how to express themselves, they have to find it on their own.

Perhaps that's what does it.. That instinctive dislike of the status quo (for lack of a better word) in expression.. whether painting, or whatever the manner. It might stimulate you to find your own way.. knowing..what you definitely don't like. I've heard surealism.. (I think dripping clocks like Dali.. not sure I'm right though...) and impressionism.. seemed to always be these.. park scenes.. "picnickers".. bright pastels.. So, I'm really lost trying to combine the two in my head. Define "distrubing".. are there recognizable shapes expressed in your canvasses?

Yeah... Well... My favorite one that I did was a portrait of a woman holding a mask up to her face... Her hair was half dreadlocks and half red strait hair... and she had green skin... and I had a sort of light dark opposite colors going on which sepperated the picture in half... and I had a sun moon design over the eyes on the mask, the eye on the sun side was closed and the eye on the moon side is open... it balances it out very well... but I think people think the contrasting colors are too intense and that the mask is being held up by hands... some people thought that the hands were holding up a severed head... oh well... I like to do a lot of dark versus light in my pictures, and a lot of the human forms are very worped and in weird possisions... Dark angels, people find scary... Just odd things in general...

Any way, I've gotta go now... Talk to you later... 🙂

Nice to chat. Catch you later. 🙂

Commenting on your last: it sounds very compelling. I'd like to have seen it. Dark angels as well.. a conflict aspect that's probably very interesting to study. Later..

I don't know what you'd say about it... Most of my ideas come from dreams I've had... It's because I dream about painting or such and such... Really odd... Huh... Actually, I just realized I had a dream about you, and in my dream I was showing you this book full of paintings I had done... Odd...

ok, social hermit i totally understand, but i want to know what an 'aversion sensation' is. is this a good or a bad thing?

It's a feeling of extreme dislike I suppose...
