Deviousness |
Having close access to this painting, I've studied it quite a few times, and this photo really doesn't do it justice. Seriously, anyone reading this has to trust me, that this painting is five times more amazing in person. On top of all the awkward-looking-goggly-eyed-girl-who-is-sexy stuff, and how that conflicts with so many people, this painting is just incredibly layered, in terms of thickness and texture.
Amanda painted onto it VERY thickly in places, so it's very textured and you can feel the bumps of thick paint. All the pink bits at the top dripping down are so dense on the canvas. It's incredible.
I really hope you find the time to do more with her soon, as this undoubtedly my favourite of all your paintings.
Personally I rather like it. It's because of all those aspects about it, is what makes it such a great piece to look at.
In a weird way, I like that she looks a little demented. The little detail of her chewing on a strand of her hair adds to that; you're not quite sure what she's thinking.
Sorry for the long comment, but sometimes some pieces really hit me in a way that I have to really lay down all the details on why I like it.
Her:"Mommy... Her bellies ripped!"
Me: "Oh no honey, that's just the line from her muscle."
Her:" Oh.... so she's naked?"
I just thought it was cute. ^_^ Very creepy cool
