Human on My Faithless Arm

Very powerful, Garth. I think I saw this (elsewhere) and it struck me hard with a convincing feeling of emotional burden. Is this piece to be considered part of your 'dark period' ? Regardless of theme, it is well done. I am curious as to what (if anything) you are holding in your hands?

David, as Mike pointed out to me this morning, there seems to be a piece of string between my hands. The only thing is, I don't recall why. I don't think there is any profound reason for that; the string was probably just littering the floor, and picking it up perhaps seemed to add more mystery to the image. If you can come up with a better story, you are welcome!

Thanks for your compliments! Perhaps this is part of my early dark period........

Garth,

I've been mesmerized by this painting ever since I saw it for the first time. Very powerful I must agree!

Garth,

What a surprise! Thank you very much for posting the link. Do you want to go first and post your critique?

I' m so happy that these two "nude" sections finally appeared on this great forum.

I did not think so either.

But fortunately our imagination is more capable then we can imagine, don
