    • ]]>     “Hey, you know what? Let´s have an art trade! I pick out one of my pictures and you send me one of yours!”
    So that was basically the idea that came up on one of the art chats on Jared´s ning site.
    If you know me from facebook, you probably have seen some of his comments on my wall.
    He is an artist, a teacher and a philosopher, appart from being very funny and open-hearted.

    So, what about the trade?
    I wanted to make a customized illustration, that showed him as my favourite animal: a cat.
    It is a mixture between outer appereance (the glasses and the eyecolor) and inner appereance
    (the lotusheart and the water lilly).

    I found his painting yesterday, stuffed into my mailbox by the mailman. How thoughtful!
    It was packed in bubble wrap and as I teared it off, white bits of the canvas showed.
    “Holy shit, I ruined it!” I thought, but actually that was part of the painting! :D (Or Jared? Did I really mess it up? *lol*)

    Art exchange with Jared Knight

    As I flipped it around, I read the name “Internal”, which I think is very suitable, for the colors mostly show black, purple and blue (the latter two being the colors of creativity). Quite interesting also is the fact, that some kind of silhoutte shows on the right, where the color is missing.
    (But that is just the human desire to see something in every abstract painting.)
    I also like some red points showing through, like something deeper and passionate luring through the darkness.
    The composition alltogether is very fiery and driving, like some sandstorm of emotions.

    So, what do you think? Comments!!!!
