Abstract Transitions 2

That was the idea (hence the name transition). I had an assignment for my art class to create a diptych, so I decided to take 3 drawings I had already completed (Emotions, Whispers, and Irony) and create 2 more (effectively creating a pentych). So I created two transitions, and alligned the five pictures in a cross (with Emotions in the center, Whispers on the left, Irony on the right, and the transitions feeding protrait style from the top and bottom), which had all the more complex detail and complexities focused toward the center and the more basic abstract stuff (or more basic surreal stuff on the horizontal axis) further out. Basically, what it all represented was the mix and confusion of emotions as the substance of external existance is internalized and attempted to have sense made of it. So the less detailed, kinda bland stuff is intentional, because of what it represents. I again defer to Emotions, where the whole peice is very highly detailed and complex, as an example of what such a picture would look like had the whole thing been drawn with that detail. (Interestingly enough, as a Graduation/Birthday present for a friend of mine, I'm decorating the inside covers of her yearbook with all the detail stuff, filling up all the extra white space inside of the signatures, which is like 6 pages of the stuff, but at least I'm not filling whole pages). Sometimes I think that it would be interesting to go back and fill in the rest of the space in my earlier stuff, but as it all is indicitive not only of my skill, but my feelings, at the time I created them, I think that I'm obliged to myself to leave them as they are (though possibly re-draw the whole picture... or if I ever learn how to paint to do that with them).
