de.par.ture \ n 1: the act of going away.

__________


it happens to all of us at some point.
one way or another.


__________



tinkering with some new textural techniques.
working from a book by maxine masterfield called 'painting the spirit of nature'.
saw this piece by marti m. fenker in the book and thought i'd try my hand at her(?)
technique to recreate it.
also threw in a few of my own.

i feel free in my cage but lost in the wide world of nothing,
i feel happy within my depression but sad if im alone in happines,
i am a freak in a sheep pen alone in the group,
i stand dark against the the white back of society,
and i am PROUD........
