abstraction kinda... I'm entering this in duststorm10's passion contest

which, you might not think of this as passionate piece at first glance, but sometimes passion is happening on the inside, and in art we can show by color the passion that others might not be able to see by posture or facial expression.

Also, I really like the cracking texture... I think it lends to the idea that a high level of passion is difficult to maintain. Eventually you either settle down or you... um, crack up. (that's frequently the case, anyway.)

personally, every day, in every way, I'm doing better and better. take from that what you will.

only computer edited to try to get the colors and hues right. they aren't quite... so if you decide you have to have this piece, and you want to buy it from me, keep in mind that actual colors may vary ;D!

I'm also entering this in suanin's expression contest! Thank you!!!

emotions expressed: anger, frustration... bottled up inside
