:iconuniquelyyours:
I would like to see you break away from the rectangle (jar) in the center of this piece. It keeps me so focused in the middle I have a hard time getting to the outskirts of the painting. The other vessel was laced with flowers, which helped movement. I think also breaking the white reflection/halo around the vessel with a variety of line thicknesses or color would take the edge off the "rectangle". The background is absolutely beautiful and exotic. Once my eye reaches that point it doesn't want to leave. As always, love the concept of your paintings... disturbing and beautiful... reality!

Omg! It's... horror... And it's great! :clap:
Reminds me a little paintings of Frida Kahlo. They're bloody and full of death too. Real and unreal (surreal) at the same time. And so is your picture. The baby in the bottle looks like it's yet unborn, dead yet in his mother... and like it's dead after birth. Closed in a jar of formaline. Or without a formaline, if it looks like... this.
And I like the metaphore of this picture - the baby bottle with the dead child. Like we're drinking death with the milk of our mothers. We're dead yet before birth, even if we can move and breathe. Because it's sure we will die some day, sooner or later. There's no other way.

I love this picture.
