I\u2019m looking at the news, seeing what\u2019s happening in Iran, seeing the women protesting, dying, risking their lives. I\u2019m looking and I\u2019m crying. From helplessness, from anger, from pride. I wish I had their courage. I wish there was something more I could do. More than posting and tagging. What I guess I can do is paint. I want to paint red. Listening to: Reading:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201eAnd it’s for her child that she finally gets angry. When she takes her daughter to a department store at Christmas and the white Santa treats her coldly, Maud Martha imagines a murderous assault on Saint Nick, yearning “to jerk trimming scissors from purse and jab jab jab that evading eye.” There’s no playing this scene for comedy: the incident leads her to confront a resentment “she could neither resolve nor dismiss. There were these scraps of baffled hate in her, hate with no eyes, no smile and-this she especially regretted, called her hungriest lack\u2014not much voice.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is how Iranian women might be feeling, it takes monumental strength and courage to protest and risk lives knowing how dangerous the consequences can be. I guess this is how it feels to have nothing to loose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MISTAKES: I prepped the pencil on canvas with glossy medium to make sure pencil won’t smear. SO FAR SO GOOD. I then got into squeezing the paints out. The idea was to try the free samples of amazing paints that were given to me by a friend who works in an art shop. Somewhere while squeezing I got distracted and grabbed paints that turned out to be acrylic, which I did not realise until I had finished painting using linseed oil!!! I have no idea what will happen now and how that will the aging of the painting overtime. Or maybe it’s an absolutely amazing interesting new result, which I might find useful? No idea, only that at the moment it looks ok but it’s still drying so only the time will tell I guess…Lesson learned: don’t loose focus when squeezing out the paints!!! Or do?<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
