I wanted here, to interpret a vibrant, raw impression of Salome. Somewhat uncomfortable yet striking. I left it blurry and messy as I felt it suitable to the character. The wildness in the eyes. Somewhat disturbing. The vibrancy and depth of the colors, signaling the possibility of beauty. But too muddled up in the greed, lust and confusion. He, unlike her, is more at peace and reflects some depth and calamity. In retrospect, I now like this painting a great deal. My personal preference of the German expressionists evoke within me the same response upon first glance. The colors....the rawness. A certain childlike quality that is linked to the complete opposite spectrum...Rawness. It is a primal reaction. A primal observation and awakening.
