Second attempt on this one: [link]
It was good practice, but I somehow prefer the first version more.

Question: begemott, with this painting, are you trying to address the topic of Post-Abortion Syndrome (PAS)? It _seems_ like the painting would lend itself to that interpretation: the woman on the sofa resting up after the procedure, her (former) child in the glass jar above (hanging over?) her head, information on what she has actually done on the floor, the woman herself now sad and exposed.

I would certainly appreciate any insight you have.

The 'information on the floor' looks more like it has a dinosaur or something in the book. Maybe it's a children's book and she had a miscarriage? Miscarriage would be my guess especially in the first pic since the baby is more centrally located. Also in the first version the baby is a lot farther along developmentally. In real abortions the baby is generally not in one piece when it comes out. Though I know that can just be up to artistic interpretation.
In this second version it's more or less just among the other jars. So another idea is she just likes keeping animals in jars and somehow got a fetus, and the book on the floor is a general book about fauna.

Wow, no one wants to address the elephant(s) in the room...O.K., I'll say it, I like the tits in the second one...perfect shape, perfect lighting, etc...you can report me to deviantart...in fact, you'd be doing me a favor, I've been trying to close my account for years, but they need to send something to the email address they have on their records to verify it's me, but I don't have that one, anymore, and they won't answer my emails!! Anyway, you're a brilliant artist, I'll say that much, and I hate to treat you with a lack of respect...but I really do like the tits in the second one, for what it's worth...thanks,

Very nicely done =]

This version is more perturbing than the first one to me. I see a continuation of a life story, but a melancholic, almost paralized life. Resignation, loneliness, sadness. The plants are whitered as life seems to be doing. That's what I see. I like both versions, seems like they need each other to tell a story.

~NeriSiren Feb 6, 2013

I like both versions. The brighter one has a more cheerfully peaceful feel, while the second version has a more quiet, almost melancholy peaceful feel, and the colors look more realistic. Both scenes look like they take place in the afternoon; the first version early-afternoon, while the second is later, closer to evening. The woman in the first version seems to be resting after a long, possibly busy day, and there might still be lots of people and noise coming from outside. In the second version, it seems like the woman could've been spending a quiet day inside, reading (I see the book on the floor), watching TV, etc. I imagine less noise going on outside as people head home, just a few stragglers sticking around at the beach (I imagine this place is near the beach because of the palm tree in the second version).

Either way, I feel like I'd love to visit or live in this place

Yes, the first version is better. I can tell what the point is in that version. In this version, the point is well hidden.

The perspective seems wrong. The floor boards, and all lines parallel to them, should have a single vanishing point, which should lie on the horizon.
