Transparency

In our artist discussion group tonight, Lyn said that she sees the primary themes of death, alienation and loneliness in my artwork. She can even see some of my feelings about animal abuse and suffering in my recent red pieces.

And some people see blood and violence in this painting, even though it's not what I consciously intended:



Lyn said that my feelings often come through in the titles of my work, if not in the work itself.

I had no idea that I'm so transparent, and I'm surprised that people can read me from my abstract work. We're not talking narrative artwork here. Lyn got all of this from abstract work. Lyn is right that these are central themes in my life, but I wasn't aware that I was expressing them in my art. They must be leaking out subconsciously into my work.
