Profanity

11″ x 15″ Acrylic on paper

For some reason, faces keep appearing in my work lately. Maybe they are tortured souls trying to say something, reaching out, screaming but nothing comes out. I think this guy is angry, frustrated, or just insane, but I’m pretty sure he’s not saying anything nice!

I hope that you don’t feel like this guy, I hope that you are calm, content and enjoying the moment, I am!Β

    That guy is like totally FUBAR. He must be having a SNAFU kind of day. I’ll bet he’s yelling the seven words you can’t say on television. In other sacred and profane words, it’s an F-ing awesome painting.

    Have you ever considered selling on Etsy? I see you’ve already on Fine Art America.

    It would be a perfect fit for you I think and you already have great photos of your work. After every post you could add something at the end like: Be the first kid on your block to have this beauty! Then add your link. It would be easy, easy like Sunday morning. πŸ™‚

      Thank you so much, Mike, I am creating my shop today! It seems pretty easy to work with so far, I will see how it goes. Yeah, I think it will work well to add the link to all my other social media posts, pretty easy, and I love the song reference there!

    Think carefully about your company name. You might be able to change it later but its important for web searches and your products will show up in similar categories when people browse the site. Good luck Tiffany!

    I guess I missed this one, though I do have a vague memory of being scared off to another post, lol! I’ve done just a few like this, one a self portrait decades ago, scared the heck of me & everyone else, lol! Very powerful! That’s always within us, the power 😊

      Haha! I know what you mean, sometimes my paintings scare the heck out of me! I sometimes think painting helps release inner demons, not pretty, but therapeutic!

        Definitely therapeutic, lol! I feel like some days I’m doing more therapy than art, lol! 😊
