“What am I in most people’s eyes? A nonentity or an eccentric and disagreeable man–somebody who has no position in society and never will have, in short, the lowest of the low. Very well, even if this were true, I should want my work to show what is in the heart of such an eccentric, of such a nobody.” Vincent VanGogh

Tormented Waves November 26, 2007

Ever feel like you’re being tossed against the rocks of life? Cuz I have.

So here’s today’s abstract painting.

“Tormented Waves”

Tormented Waves

I actually finished it on Sunday and just haven’t gotten around to photographing it and putting it up until now.

I’m really pleased with how it turned out and I had fun dabbling with my new palette knife.

Sadly however, you can’t fully appreciate it without seeing it in person.

Please feel free to comment/critique.

Cheers,

A

Stumbled upon this and thought it was fitting for the piece:

Psalms 42:7 Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of thy waterspouts: all thy waves and thy billows are gone over me.

    yes, I can see the textures from the photocopy but can only imagine how it is in person… :)it really gives the effects of water flowing over a very rocky bottom.

    Yeah, the palette knife resulted in some really cool effects in terms of color mixing and solid edges.

    I really like this piece. It’s an abstract, but you can definitely tell what it is. It’s like 19th century abstract impressionism (yay, Monet!).

    I’ve always been a fan of chaos and the colour blue, so this gets top marks from me.
