Ah finally! After more than a month of painting, Ive finished this one. My mom thinks my aunt and grandma will kill me for painting something nude (both are conservative Christians), but I don't care, and besides, Ive painted it for myself and not them. I like to call it acceptance to express my disgust of people who compromise themselves for the sake of acceptance, and belongingness. The woman is the alpha female, and the little people are the followers. I have someone I have in mind when I painted this, and even though were friends, I disapprove of how that person handles his social circle, which is manipulation through fear and dominance. Thank God i dont belong in that person's circle, and its because of that person's habit do I avoid being with that person.
I find it weird though that most of my portrait paintings are not centered. Notice here how she tends to rest on the right side. I have no idea if this has a psychoogical explanation or perhaps plain coincidence or mistake. Hmm....

As usual, for me, you paint really well and it makes me remember again that I can't paint, lol. Though I seem to be kind of disturbed at those babies hanging around the woman, lol.
Maybe that's your style? Having the object of your paintings to be a little bit off the center? haha!
This is beautiful! I love your style! :D
hmmmm....
--its a good painting.
@dessa_pinkangel - haha, i dunno. even in my writing, there is bound to be an imbalance in the margins. :(
ei sabi mo sisimulan mo na mag paint? haha
@WiseOrFool - @lahs_forums - :D thanks. my parents think im a little disturbed though. haha
Hmm....not bad...first ba nude painting ba ito? haha tanong lang! :))
Good job arden for another nice [but weird, but hey, all paintings are sometimes weird] painting!! SIge pa! make morree!!! ;)
PS Dapat hindi disturbed parents mo..in my opinion, normal yan for an artist to try different art styles and perspectives...hmmm...
@Ardenlabroasuncion - I wanted to start kaso I have no painting materials pa. Haha! Wala pa kasi akong pera talaga. Plan ko hiramin iyong sa pinsan ko pero ginagamit pa niya eh. Kasi starting pa din cya sa painting kaya ayun, medyo feel na feel pa ang moment. hmph. haha
I used to do paintings but not that kind.. only for pastime because I don't seem to have time. I also have that problem in placing my objects in the center. Nice work! ^_^ It kind of reminds me of someone I know who's like your friend btw.
i say may talent ka...
@jbalmont - haha thanks. sana lang nga one day magkapera ako for this. :D
@Ardenlabroasuncion - tapos mambalato ka kasi ako ang unang nakadiscover sayo. ahehehe.
