i used glass cleaner (basically ammonia) to change the texture of the paper and to manipulate the colors.

things have been...interesting. my girlfriend is going to the psych ward today. she's bipolar too and her meds have been off.

that's great that you are having fun with watercolors. what a hard medium. i commend you.

nice to see you too.

mine has sucked too, because of the girlfriend issues and i got a dwi in sept. and it is causing all kinds of problems. stupid thing to do, i know.

why has your life sucked?

no, i had to sell my camera, so it's out for now. :(

good to hear from you. i'm really sorry about the gf! my mother was bipolar and that led to a very bad childhood. i can't imagine living with another bipolar person, well other than my mother and that was like a nightmare.

thanks, i hadn't used watercolors in a year or something and i want to use this account for something totally different, so that's how this evolved. i was amazed at how popular they are and one of them got the DD. wild.

oh jeez, dwi. that sucks. you do have a lot of crap going on in your life! did they take you licence away? i assume you have a huge fine? it must have been really traumatic to be arrested and all.

mostly my life has sucked because of months and months of horrible depression. i have the holidays, my mother ruined all of them for me, and that made me panicky and unhappy the whole time. my agoraphobia is out of control. i almost never leave the house. i'm still creating lots and lots of art, so that's good.

oh no! not your camera! that's really sucky.

hugs

us bipolars can be difficult. i am sorry you had such a rough childhood.

i haven't been convicted yet. supposedly i will get limited driving privileges for a year. and yes, a fine of about $1,000.

well, my g/f is supposed to get social security disability this year sometime and she said she was going to buy me whatever camera i want when she gets her back disability! hopefully it will come through.

Differentiality - againist the norm? An outcast, a "social criminal", so to say?
Or is it their combination, their coexistence?
Or both?
Or nothing?
Either way, great work.

thanks! i am not 100% sure of what i was trying to say, lol. i know the red spot is the scandal. it's trying to hide, but totally failing. the green around it is it's pathetic hiding place. the lighter parts on the edges is the dream world encroaching upon the scandal is a better way to hide. i guess i did know what i meant!
thanks much for giving a thoughtful comment!

:)

Forgot to say that the choice of colour has a natural, flowery feel to it. Though it suggests intense feelings such as angst or fear, the immediate response is smooth, calm, almost peaceful.

you're right. if i hadn't titled it as "scandal" i think it would really have the qualities you suggest here. the colors are soft and the texture is smooth, compared to the acrylic paintings in my other account :iconruthcouldbe: i apply lots of paint to the water colors, but only one dot at a time, and then carefully apply water to the dots, one at a time. and then again and again always with lots of water. the whole thing ends up like what you saw. :)
