Description
*Keeping up appearances
Keeping up with the Jones'
Fooling my selfish heart
Going through the motions
But I'm fooling myself
I'm fooling myself
Cause you say you love me
And then you do it again, you do it again
You say your sorry's
And then you do it again, you do it again
Everybody thinks you're well
Everybody thinks I'm ill
Watching me fall apart
Falling under your spell
But you're fooling yourself
You're fooling yourself
Cause you say you love me
And then you do it again, you do it again
You say your sorry's
And then you do it again, you do it again
And again and again and again and again
But you're fooling yourself
You're fooling yourself
Cause you say you love me
And then you do it again, you do it again
You say your sorry's
And then you do it again, you do it again
You say you love me
And then you do it again, you do it again
You say your sorry's
And then you do it again, you do it again
And again and again and again and again...*
Travis, "Re-Offender"
---------------
chalks on ruvid paper, real size 25 per 35 cm.
-----------------------------
This is the first experiment in chalks I feel like posting, after the piece of last year "Sketch for PK"and my September theme image "Secretive"I only uploaded in the Forum 2D Gallery. Well, I have much to do there but I am fascinated by the medium possibilties in terms of changin from realism to expressionism.And so there you go.. something a bit new among my usual stuff...Or maybe not? ;)
This image of sorrow was made in my days of mourning the past week, for reasons your lovely hearts have already shared and so lovely both in my Memorial pic posted in my gallery and in so many tributes you dear people dedicated in your galleries to my bad days.
To show you I am out of that haze, I chose to link the image to a song and not to a personal poem of mine, a song that I am loving to pieces lately, since I firstly heard it weeks ago (hear it too if you haven't yet.. it's so well sung...).
Then this image of sorrow,you see, can underline also a story of trashed love,like the one of the song.But at least isn't anymore to remind of a departure that nothing sadly can change.
I thought the song fitted the image well. Or maybe I just wanted to promote Travis ;) one of my fav band :P
Enjoy and get ready for more chalks experiments.
If I will get better with this, well it will be merit of the lovely Forum 2D members and of disa, who pushed me firstly to try more chalks :)
And of all of you who, knowing the medium, will be so sweet and kind to give me useful inputs to follow. :) Thanx in advance.

Breathtaking work, Meli! I am just in awe of your talent. This is gorgeous!
I always love images made with chalk and charcoal... You captured the sorrow really well in your image. I hope this drawing can help you to release the sadness and return to a brighter mood.
Excellent artwork, Meli!!! I love the chalk! It gives a lot of depth to a work, especially to a beautiful and emotion piece like this heartfelt work of art!
Its impressive the amount to me of mediums that you dominate, from a simple piece of chalks to a computer, that I call versatility, of the image, is great and full of grace, the form very is provided. although in my monitor looks a bit dark, maybe for mi bad minitor calibration. in any case excellent work Meli.
this is so gorgeous and yet so sad.. i agree you captured the sorrow so well it touches my heart! hugz meli i luv you!
Heartfelt and very expressive artwork! One can feel the emotion you are feeling in this piece. Magnificent artwork, Meli.
It looks like a genuine expression of grief. I echo abmlober's hope that the work helps you get through the rough times.
Looks good and shows the Emotion well . Hugz and gelato
Love your work with chalk.Your angel is so alive and the image so well composed. I like the deep darkness chalks give, hope this helps you release rest of the sorrow you just going through!
You have captured sadness with chalk. I'm impressed because I know how difficult it is to work and create something recognizeable with this medium. Your angel is lovely even in her grief. Great image. :)
Oh my, the pose and expression deeply touched my heart! Breathtaking artwork, Dear!
You can show your heart with your painting Hand. I love it very much.
Wonderful and very full of emotions! You have do a brilliant work!! Kiss Eva
You have ventured into this medium full force. I really like it. A genuinely sorrowfull posture done in a provocative fashion. The hair is sheer excellence as per usual.
A very soft appealing image. Well done.
Gorgeous image Meli; a beauty full of emotions.
Very good job of depicting sadness, both with the face and the body. Nice one. :)
Now just what do you do with all your artwork? You certainly must have reams of fantastic drawings.his sure beats what I saw some kids doing outside with their street chalk LOL.You really do not need any helpful hints on your chalks,rather you should be teaching it.
Wonderful artwork Meli :-)
it's a great sketch mel and again, I'm so sorry for your loss
I'm so pleased to see that you posted this beautiful image as it touches my soul SO deeply my angel hugs Please, keep going with chalks as they so suit your unique style and, just as you said, bring a very expressionistic approach, in its truest sense as it exposes the true emotional quality of your talent. hugest hugs Thank you so much for sharing angel girl :) :) :)
Marvellous work!Touching one!love it:)
Absolument magnifique Meli.
Fantastica Melania le tue emozoni sono sempre cospercettibili nelle tue immagini.. ti voglio bene baci Orietta
There is a deligthful play between dark and light and forms vs shadows going on here. The play between soft and hard is also interesting. Another delightful image.
i think chalk is the best medium for you, (as far as i can see this), because it gives your brilliant sense and technique for shadow and light the soft touch that makes the best from your style. i imagine when the time comes you can free more space for the light between the shadows.
WOW!! This is excellent!! I love the texture created by the paper. And the looseness of the chalks gives it so much expression and transfers your feeling so much more than pen and pencils. I love using pastels on matte board because of the roughness of the medium and the texture created when the chalks are drawen across them. Please, keep experimenting with chalks! This is excellent!!
This is so beautifully touching, the sorrow on her face reaches out and touches me.Thank you for sharing this very personal part of you with us. This is truely a treasure.
Keep doing this Meli, I'm really enjoying your new direction, and thumbs up to Francesco for encouraging you in the first place! In some ways it seems to suit you even more than pencils :-)
Catch you tomorrow night hugs :-)
I love this she really conveys a sense of dispair and sorrow really well. The contrast in values and textures work together great in this one.
