World #MentalHealth Day: WIP on the #Brain and #Depression

Depression isn't an easy topic to address no matter the medium. This painting I've been working on as part of my Brain Series has certainly taking it's own time to come to completion.

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.
