"Rocket Horse"

"Rocket Horse"-came about like the previous 3 pictures around ten+ years ago. I enjoyed re-priming this canvas as i see the former art (something I found on the side of the road) as fast food art, yes somebody came up with the idea but then it's screen printed and mass produced for people to lazy to create something that truly represents them, not that I think food represents you, it's Ikea art that comes in kit form. Most of them then were done in a simply "lets draw something" mood, I look at them now and think back and see meaning. For "Rocket Horse" it is escapism, I did a lot of that my room back then it was literally my cave, there I knew it was safe to be me it was my world what happened there was more real than out there in reality...the red paint splatters around the flames was a spare of the moment thing, it really means nothing but it adds a nice touch all the same. I guess you could say the tornado repesents stress tension and the sailing ship another form of escaping  that tension, but ultimately you have to abandone all and create a new world free of stress but full of it at the same time. Escaping is a wonderful thing but it is also terribly lonely, no-one to share the pain, anger and hear you out, you end up listening to yourself over and over again, it's tiresome...

Anyways...
