At long last the painting is finally done. I used Acrylic Paint, Liquitex Matte Medium(gel medium), and my good old Staedtler Lumocolor permanent marker for ink.
The Thought Process
Before the idea came to me I was doodling in my notebook about Alice in Wonderland and Tim Burton Characters because I was getting excited to see his new Alice movie coming out in 2010. After a few weeks of just thinking about random things and drawing them I thought of this series which started with this painting right here. In my sketch book I drew a few drafts of what it should look like and just went for it. The idea changed from what was in my sketch book but thats okay. I tried to used strong lines to bring you into the centre but I like the fact that because they were painted (using a lot of patience and steady hand movement) they are rugged. I like pink and needed a bright colour so it just went there. It lightens the painting I find. The black balances the image out and adds another dimension to it. The numbers show that the centre of the image is the gravitational source.
What this painting means could be different to another than it is to me. I have many guesses as to what this painting is demonstrating but I think that the viewer should make their own assumptions. I believe that with every art form and with whatever piece you find whether it be a song, painting or play, it has an underlying meaning. Sometimes even the artist does not even pick it out for themselves.
