Unsigned Painting!

November 15
It's cloudy and I guess it's going to rain. As usual I sat next to the open window enjoying the chill of the cold winter and the murky sky!
Aimlessly I pulled a chair next to my dashboard, took my brush and began to paint.

With soft and lazy strokes I drew him next to the table in a dark room with a faint light of a small lamp,...
a glass of beer half full on the table and a pistol in his hand.


November 21
I rarely finish a painting in one day. I may start it and finish it a month later. I like Mozart, the music just suits your mood whatever it is.

It was all in black and white,… the man, the table,…
I added a window, and a bird outside shivering from cold,…
And with quick strokes I drew rain and wind…


November 24
Yesterday, I felt a little sick, and I stayed in bed all day long,…did nothing but watch the ceiling and I didn't utter a single word…
There must be some connection between insanity and peace of mind. I guess only the insane can have these rare pure moments of utmost peace or may be it's some kind of temporary amnesia when you can remember or see nothing but the color white,…or black!

Watching the birds shaking its wings, and with empty looks, he loaded the pistol with hesitant hands. He took the final decision, but the idea made him shudder…
One bullet is quite enough…one shot will do the job.


December 2
I figured out something today…Deafness isn't always physical, sometimes you can choose not to hear,…to the extent that you see the lips moving and you hear nothing but yourself or you can't hear at all,…or even feel...
That's really strange!

It seemed to be a good idea; he'll take everything out of his head. Imagining the blood splash, sketching his poems, pain and memories back on the wall…
A memorial painting, signed by his own hands!
With his finger on the trigger,…
he swallowed the barrel,…
took a look at the bird outside…
One last breath…
And he closed his eyes.

I like the development of the text (as usual..)

"There must be some connection between insanity and peace of mind"
"Deafness isn't always physical, sometimes you can choose not to hear,…to the extent that you see the lips moving and you hear nothing but yourself or you can't hear at all,…or even feel.." YEAH!

This sentence is excellent , u sort it right and like what they say "magneen fe n3em " and they r really r that's why i enjoy the moments of madness the most.

elsede'3..
thx man :)
I thought it's kinda, dunno...!

insomniac..
yeah,...I know that...self induced deafness. :)
Well,...
Either the artist didn't sign the (real painting) cuz he himself committed suicide in the end (P.S. he's sketching his thoughts),hence,...(an unsigned painting),..

or the person in the "real painting" didn't sign his "own painting" using blood (Imagining the blood splash, sketching his poems, pain and memories back on the wall…) 'cause he commited suicide, so he's dead and cannot sign anything,hence...(unsigned painting)!

the title alone is genious, i liked the weaving of the test, i said weaving coz i felt u were dealing with 2 pieces of cloth and u mixed them together ,but in the most smooth way.
one cloth was the state of mind of the person hmself, the other cloth was the evolving scene being built in the painting which is a reflect of the hero's state of mind and the silnce he choose to be in which again appears in the stillness of the painting.
it reminded me of a poetic line from one of those old ebglish poems, it says: "as idle as a
pianted ship upon a painted ocean."

away from all this, u commentd at my blog that u may never reach ur 30 b.day, here u r vivdly talking about someone with suicide in front of his eyes all the time, can i be rest assured that it is only a wild imagination and excellent pen triving to write?? no seriousness i hope, :), at least finish ur 30th and then c how it will change, maybe.

thx alot! :)
Concerning not reaching my 30s birthday,..only God Knows!
I didn't mean committing suicide,..that means straight to hell, so.. never!
And I guess we all have suicidal "thoughts". We just differ in how intense and frequent they r.
So be rest assured. They r just hallucinations :)
