Fragments

An image I painted yesterday while watching a movie on TV. I got the image in my head when i made the other heart, so I walked around with it in my mind all day. Kind of an answer to the question "What does a broken heart look like?". Again I tried to use as much color as possible, and no outlines or sketches.

Heartache

Wow... Life... is complicated. Love even more so. Friendship is never easy. Friendship with a former lover? AND a relationship at the same time? Uhm... Right... Let's not go there.

Anyway, this image was inspired by, well, the current state of life. About the technique; I have felt a bit jealous of the concept artists at work, and their skills with a brush. The way they just add a few layers of color and out comes this slightly blurry but recognizable image. I just had to try. Great fun and I am going to do a bit of touching up tonight if I can find the time.

Mummy

Well I did this one ages ago, when my ex dumped me for good! I've never dared presenting it cause I thought it's not a perfect work. Now however I wanna know what you guys think of it. Personally it's one of my favorites. Hope you like it too.
