#4 and #5 of 29 Faces

This spread will count for numbers 3 and 4 of my 29 Faces for May. It is also my Duality spread for Art Geeks. I haven't done much in the way of painting over a big goobered up background before. I used to always paint my face and then put a background in later or as I go. I really actually liked this process a lot. I love having bits of the background coming up through the girls.

We all have different aspects of ourselves. I'm sure most of us have even more than two but I combined pretty much the positives on one side and the negatives on the other. I try to be a pretty positive person and when I am positive I am quite happy. But on the other hand I can also find myself in this sad and lonely place because of certain circumstances. I try very hard to not let these things take over me. And this is precisely why I used bright and happy colors throughout... on both the positive and negative sides. Because I fight it! I fight it every day and will continue to do so til when hopefully I won't have to fight so much anymore.

Anyhoo... this is probably going to be it for the day. I'm BEAT from not sleeping so great last night and I did this big spread and some chores around the house AND went out to lunch with my youngest daughter and some of her friends before they went home (from college) for the summer. Long day already!
