Original artwork description:

Grieving is a primal, visceral, and wrought emotional experience, timed to go off on certain dates as if the body seems to keep count for us.

Expressionist oil painting mainly painted with palette knife, on a rollered red background.

This is the latest in the "Mask" series of oil paintings.

We all wear masks in our daily lives to protect our vulnerabilities and our attitudes, but if if you look closely enough these vulnerabilities and attitudes are always seeping out, the mask is always, sometimes imperceptibly, slipping to reveal more than we would like.

In this painting, the second stage of grieving, rage, replaces the first, unconscious denial.

Materials used:

oil painting on linen canvas
