I used watercolors, so it's on water color paper. It's mostly just black and white with a few grays. This was done on Dec. 30, 2013. I call it Girl Slipping into Darkness, originally the arm going into the "darkness" was actually supposed to be resting against her head. I could not get the hand position right, so instead it looks like she's reaching into the "darkness". Her eyes are closed and to me this represents her not wanting to see what's there, not wanting to see what she's getting herself into. If could have figured out how to I would have made it look like her "essence" or soul for say was being "taken" away and what she was left with was practically a shell. One that moved with the crowd but never stood out. Maybe I could have achieved this by on the side with the bun I could have painted a rainbow or multiple colors. I could have made it look like the darkness was depression and she was slipping into it and behind her were words of hate. So, as you can see this picture could mean many, many different things.
