Trusssst Me....

Description

Trust in me, just in me
Shut your eyes, trust in me
You can sleep, safe and sound
Knowing I am around...

This one I, admittedly, had to help out a little with contrast / brightness controls because the picture was awful. The prompt was to do a 'Dual Self Portrait', meaning you and either another you or something that represents you in the same picture. I decided to take the idea and play with it a little, turning it into a painting suggesting the two sides of a person. 

One one hand, you have the rational side, the side we show off to the world, the side that is socially acceptable and follows all the norms.

Then there's the other side, the violent, capricious, petty, loathsome side of each of us that is constantly whispering in our ear, the side that, if let loose, would wreak havoc and everyone around us, the beast inside. Because none of us are perfect, none of us is without this darker side, and it's always trying to convince us that it's advice is worth listening to.
