Oil Painting

Here is an oil painting I did. The canvas is around 3 ft high. I tried to get a good quality photo of it but I did not succeed However I will post it up anyways.
Its called 'In loving memory'

I dunno, I guess I was just thinking about death, and what happens after dying. I mean people spend their whole lives just buying possesions and 'stuff' but when we die we leave this Earth with nothing. We even leave our body behind and it will eventually decay into nothing. I guess I'm trying to say that people should be concerned with other things than just accumulating 'stuff' throughout their lives because in the end it's all worthless. I do think you should get into art, it's such a brilliant thing. you can express yourself as much or as little as you want with art, it's all up to you. I love it

i kinda like it. has a touch of robert williams quality to it i like.

starts off distinctive and neat looking at the top and then becomes vague and almsot bloody and messy at the bottom, seems almost frantic. shows some dark deep emotion was definitely used in this one.



show some more

wow that's awesome.
Really intense.

I think this part would make a good avatar if you wanted.

I like it. Do you paint in gusto or whatever that italian word is for thick paint(ing)? It has an odd bevel effect and I'm not sure if its the quality of the photo or the painting itself. Hmmm I'm going post an abstract painting I did of a pair of siscors in college. hd on...

Yeh well some of the oil paint is about an inch thick on there so it does stick out alot. I used knives to make distinct lines with the thick oil smears. I also used acrylics, charcoal, ink, crayons, dirt and pens to make it look extremely textured in different ways. Thanks for the feedback guys.

No there is no real referance to Jesus. Thats cool that you'd pay that much for it!! I'm broke, how about I sell it to you. the postage charge would probably be alot.

Thanks alot Alien! Really appreciate the positive feedback! This is one of my favourites outta the work I've done. probably the least wierd too. I do more intense stuff.

Are you going to post that painting that you want me to make into a avatar?

Earth,
Im broke too, lol.
But if I did have money Id buy it off you, I think its insane.
You gotta lot of talent thier, I think you should keep that painting around though, who knows maybe one day it will be worth 300 thousand, lol, you never knew bro.

That would be amazing Zero. Selling a painting for that much money! It must be great being an artist.
