You Name It II

You Name It II, acrylic on board, 7 1/2 x 16 in.

I had something very specific on my mind when I created this piece but the nature of this game is that you have to make it for you. I am not quite done with it, a few more light layers would be nice to push the ground part a little more. Need some depth.

In my intuitive painting class some of my classmates told me what this was to them. Totally not what it is to me. So, tell me what you think. After the pictures I will explain some of my thinking. Before you read what I wrote, write your own story about it.

Detail of Little Girl 1.

Detail of Little Girl 2.

Detail of Woman.

Detail 2 of Woman. I love when collage wraps around the edge.

Little Girl 1 is looking at Little Girl 2 seeing what will happen if the takes the only present path. The easy route. She ends up brown, on the bottom, covered in my gloppy paint. There are color references that you can't make out in the photos. This was spurred by watching my sister go through her college search. I saw Little Girl 1 and thought of her as a toddler.

Well, there is the quick version of my interpretation.

Thanks to everyone who signed up on my blog (look at the link bellow)!
