Good evening @erh.germany; I think this woman had to be unnamed, but I wonder if this meant that we see too many people in her, and that's leading to variable feelings on my part. I'll be honest, I wrote this piece very much feeling sorry for her, and thinking about her pain. However, the next day, I couldn't help think that she was a bit self-indulgent. Was the painting of the charcoal canvas about release, or intention to live in that pain? I don't know the answer.

I was quite chuffed with the 'lips not being as red as her anger' line too. Given the week's challenge was character building, I imagined the easy description would be the full red lips, and green eyes and freckles or blonde hair. I think this unnamed woman had to have plain and indistinct qualities and that's the image I tried to work towards.

Either way, I appreciate your engagement on my page, and the opportunity to reflect on my own piece. Have a fabulous weekend.
