Another doodle painting, completed in the midst of painting the big project (which is now hopefully complete... The Conversation), this one depicts an emotionally painful scene using lego and abstract form. It was based on doodles from my notebooks as usual, these ones would have been sometime during 2012. I have in the past depicted emotional subjects, but usually I hid the message in a highly abstracted design. Painting emotional scenes using lego form was a good compromise, where I could tell a story but still keep an artistic buffer in between. Does that make any sense? If you look into this one, you will also see Beatles lyrics from their great album "Help" which I was coincidentally playing as I painted this one. Their tales of love and love lost were fitting. As for the bird, I don't know what she is all about but hey, art is definitely a journey.
