Inspired by the death of a close friend, this painting is meant to show how you nor I can see what is really going on inside of a person. The seemlingly happiest person to us may be struggling with strong internal demons we don't learn about until it's too late.
A couple of articles I've been referencing are from ScienceDaily and the New York Times:
- http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2012/02/120227162656.htm
- http://www.nytimes.com/2009/03/25/health/25brain.html?_r=0
Are there other references you think I should know about?
Here are two work in progress shots of the painting as well as a video describing the composition. Please review and share your throughts.
