Inspiration for Oil Painting


The day we broke up, I quit my job and dropped out of school. I began devoting my life twoards painting. You don't need an education to understand art. What ultimately matters, is not the bio, not the education, not the pricetag. What matters is the art.


The Anemone, is a wild flower, found in the middle east. The flower is often confused with the poppy. It fits as a symbolic critique of religion and love. Anemos is Greek for wind, which represents change. Anemones are associated with legends of despair, death, and disease. When Aphrodite’s lover, Adonis died. It is said that the anemone burst through his heart, as her tears touched his body. The flower is said to have been at the feet of Jesus's cross when he was crucified. In China it represents death. In Europe it represents disease. It is The beautiful dissipation of hope.
