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.

Excellent use of the medium, and the song really fits well with this image. Reminds me of life of Dr. Eby who said, upon being taken up to see Paradise, that the Lord allowed him to feel just a bit of the sadness that He feels when His children reject Him. Touching image, Meli!
Love the song, love the band, and love this image! This is very powerful, the b&w really gives it a sorrowful mood. Your drawing is beautiful. This is such an excellent work, wow, I am simply lost for words here.
Beautiful image, touching and sad.
Great picture,beautiful.
This is beautiful. I wish I could do this good with chalks.
so sad , a kiss on the grieved angel's forehead .
Excellent picture and wonderful artwork! This is really ART!
This is magic, Meli. Full of feeling and emotion. It touched me deeply.
how expressive! emotions in motion - fascinating work, and even more amazing when you consider that its a new medium [if I try new techniques its always a lot of fun and very poor results :( ]
Your eyes are raining, time is crying, tears are clouds floating away.
Wonderful work for your first with chalk! Great work, Meli!
In sorrow yes, but much more as well. I see her recuperating, waiting for the sorrow to pass as all things will. I see strength, especially in the openness of her posture and how her neck is so long. She is beaten down but only for a little while. The necks you draw always grab my attention. Beautiful and classic looking. The shadows and light on her legs and arms are perfect as well. You inspire everyone to view, think, and write. Not a hobbyist, but an artist.
So che stai lavorando ancora coi gessetti. Bene: perchhai un talento naturale per loro.
Sono ancora concorde con chi mi precede.
whhooowwwww! this one is so great! wonderful! hmmm ... fantastic Mel, fantastic :) )
I completely m issed this image of yours!! Wonderful job! Everything I wanted to say has been said already! =p
Absolutely gorgeous!
Awesome image, Meli! You talent really shines in this piece!
Wow, you're so good
very beautiful
You achieved the emotional outbreak of sorrow in this work. Excellent job...creating mood and emotion is really one of the greatest aspects one can accomplish. The sullen face...the darkend eyes give such an impact...
Der Engel ist traurig . . . ! Such a heartfelt Image . . . !
Straordinario lavoro. Credo che kiresiwel lo definisca in modo eccellente.
Resto muto, totalmente empatico.
Fnatastic! And like all I've seen of your work so far, packed with emotion and passion!!! Superb!!
The thin red line of an angel. The wide and endless road of disappointments. Again and again. Great and sureal impression of a realitys nightmare. Your an artist, that's for sure!
Beautiful art
it enters my veins.
