Melancholy

Melancholy, Figure & Portrait
Melancholy
The most important thing to me, in painting, is expressing PASSION!
Why?
Because passion cannot be "captured" with mere knowledge, nor with 100% "control". Passion is the ultimate expression of FEELINGS. And why else paint, but to know and share one's feelings!!

This figurative painting, created from a LIVE model (vs from photography), whose energy also supported MY energy, and its final expression!
One more thing that is exciting to me > painting anything that is "white" because "white" is ALL COLORS of the rainbow! Just another journey into “adventure” and discovery!
Put these all together and the adventure began, and ended with the final brush strokes that exploded, with the final gentle touch of my passion!
