Made Just For Fun - Thinking Angry Thoughts, acrylics on paper 27x35cm

Today's painting does not reflect my feeling these days. I am quite happy with my work as a teacher as well as my paintings lately. On the other hand we have all met "the angry man" sometimes. My daughter, aged 20, found him scary and that made me very happy because I want the viewers to react to the emotions I try to portrait in my semiabstract figure paintings.

This painting, as well as most of this months paintings, is made using scrunched up paper and similar to get the roughness in the expression that I want. I do not want them to be within the lines drawings. I want them to have some of the expressioness of cartoons but not the neat lines.

I hope to find some time soon to study cartoons a bit more again because there is so much interesting going on within modern illustrations and cartooning.
