I just love it. It’s very intense and to be honest the way I read the word ‘tainted’ these days (esp. due to the way it’s been applied by the religious to women of independence), I find a great deal of joy in this painting. ‘Tainted? Sure. HA!’
Hadn’t seen Cold Heart previously, but that has a similar reaction from me (for similar reasons, see cold as synonym to frigid, etc.) -- I’m finding a lot of joy and resilience in these, a background of ‘fuck you, I’m me so deal with it’ to the world.
Then again it is Monday morning and I could be misinterpreting everything.
Marcus Ranum says
I love what you do with color!
It’s intimidating as hell, but I love it.
Caine says
It’s intimidating? I don’t know if you should look at Submerged or not.
Caine says
Oh, pardon the rudeness, thank you!
Ice Swimmer says
The swarf is thought-provoking.
Caine says
Ice Swimmer, I find it so. Thank you!
Anne, Cranky Cat Lady says
Wow. It’s disturbing, but I think in a good way.
Caine says
Anne, okay, thank you. I think. :D

You aren’t. You got it.
Raucous Indignation says
Are the two Hearts for sale, by chance?
Caine says
Oh…yeah, I’d be willing to sell. Not overly cheap, as the swarf is unique. Uh, say $750.00 for the pair.
