I updated it tonight when an idea hit me to modify the painting. By splitting the image into two halves, it better reflects the duality found with bipolar disorder, a.k.a. &#8220;manic depression&#8221;.<br /> <br /> I have known or met a few people with various degrees of this condition over the years. The severe highs and lows of the mood swings can be tough to deal with for all&nbsp;concerned. </p> <p>I believe it was the combination of the wild-eyed figure and the jack-in-the-box pop-up monster that made my mind draw a parallel to this issue. In any case, this new incarnation of the piece works well I&nbsp;think.</p> http://www.gallerybizarre.com/manic_depression#comments Older Work Painting: Watercolor Sat, 14 Oct 2006 23:20:05 -0600 J.Riddle 186 at http://www.gallerybizarre.com
