Hi there, Steemians. I have one more oil painting to show you today.
For those of you that haven't seen the previous part of this series, you can check it here: Timless Art Nostalgia - Part 3
Blue World
Oil painting. Size: 60x60 cm
Story
It was my first time to paint with Acrylics, and as you can see, I had troubles mixing the colors, making the transitions a bit more smooth. It was drying out so quickly, that I couldn't really keep up. And besides, I was painting at a very dim lamp light. It was winter and there was almost no daylight in Denmark. Can't say that I am very proud of this art work, it's not one of my best really, but I decided to show it to you anyway. I'm also saying this because when I made it, I was a bit depressed (winter, cold, first year In Denmark was rough etc. etc.). Some people use dark colors when they want to illustrate sadness, but I decided to use blue (cold, empty, vast emotions) and create a dissapointed child's face in the middle, that is still trying to reach the world with her bare hands.
Conclusion
The more I write about these paintings, the more I discover what was actually going on in my head at that time. I didn't really make a plan back then, or had specific explanations for each element in the painting, I just did it. So Steemians, if you have created any sort of artwork some years back, go take a look at it again, no matter how dummy it may seem, and you will definitely notice a few new small piece of yourself. Stay tuned for more!
