This was actually my first oil painting and I really just used it to get a feel for oil paints. It does however have a meaning to it. After being out a walk and passing a group of kids much younger than me, I had an idea for the abstract painting. When I was walking past the group I was cautious as always in case they did or said something to me. I was thinking of a smart response in case they called me gay or whatever else, but instead walking by with my head held high I was gripped by a horrible fear. I was terrified and just wanted to run past. I kept calm and walked past but was filled with disgust because of my fear. I was filled with these two emotions battling each other for the rest of the night and really made myself feel terrible. The painting is mainly tones of gray, black and white and I have used multiple different textures to convey my fear. I have then added streaks of colour in green and orange to show my confidence fighting but then dwindling and disappearing. I want the painting to remind me of the horrible feeling so I never experience it again.
