my entry | ART EXPLOSION WEEK 28: Theme MELANCHOLY
This is my entry for @Juliakponsford's weekly art contest. ART EXPLOSION WEEK 28: Theme MELANCHOLY. My medium is charcoal on wood, and as you may know, charcoal doesn't stay on wood... really the medium is also the subject, as I'm painting, she is seeing even deeper into me... we are sinking into each other...

I also want to share this beautiful original song by a Steemit musician who I discovered on the @openMic. I felt like her song really complements the mood of my entry.
Please check her out.

ooo love the sculpture look she seems carved in wood
thank you so much @alexandravart, both for your support here and the contest. <3
I love how the medium matches the theme- just as melancholy doesn't last, neither does charcoal on wood. Gorgeous parallels
Thank you @sanravelme, it wasnt an intentional metaphor, at first i was just experimenting... but in ther process it had occurred to me that this painting wont last. But luckily i did manage to capture it at its birth :)

(^_^) thank you so much@veryspider <3
I didn't know that about charcoal and wood. So the art, like the feeling will eventually disappear. I like that.
yep it will fade out... unless you put some locking finish on it... the charcoal comes right off :P
hell yeah. Gorgeous. As ALWAYS
thank you Sir Basil, you always know how to channel good vibes with a few words :)
This is an incredible drawing! Such deep emotion in the artwork. How long did this piece take you?
thank you @stateothearts, It took me not too long, about an hour or two. I had no plan, just a bit of emotion. :)
