Have you ever had days, weeks or years that no matter how hard you tried to move forward toward a dream or a goal it seems like you couldn't accomplish a thing? That on Monday you started out with goals and plans for the week, only to end up on Friday saying, " what happened, I can't tell I did a thing". I have had a few years that no matter how hard I try to move forward I end up staying in this cycle of doing the same dull routine and never moving forward toward my goals. The act of continually traveling in the same circle and never stepping out is so hard to break. You keep telling yourself that someday there will be one new thing you can try that will actually break the cycle of going round and round in a circle and that every new adventure or effort will teaching you something important when all you feel is this never ending feeling of your time is running out.
This painting is expressing the emotion of being trapped in a paralyzing monotony circle of life. It features smaller circles in the background floating around that symbolizes the many efforts of trying to break free in life, but has larger circles emphasizing that the dreaded circle continues on and on.
On the creative side, the painting was a lesson on accomplishing the task of gluing down various sizes of circles and then painting a focal spot and accomplish being able to create depth within the circles. The girl is brought into the forefront with the exception of allowing a couple of circles float in the front on the right side of her head. The larger circles are the next layer close up to the girl and then the smaller circles are floating in different depths behind them.
