Making sense of it

There have been so many gaps in my art and that has been excruciating for me. I've been feeling kind of lost and unable to find my bearings. Sometimes I feel like I'm unsure as to what I want to achieve with each painting and we all know that most of the time, the artworks have minds of their own and never seem to listen. I've been struggling with this piece for months and ended up abandoning it for almost an entire month. Just 3 days ago, I sat myself down and refused to give up, and decided to have another go at it.

Once it was complete, I realized that it entirely reflected how I feel about where I am today. Its moody, darker than a lot of the other work I create and is trying to find meaning of its own. I named her 'Making Sense of It' and here she is :) 

There are so many areas of interest in this piece. I have layered tirelessly and I couldn't be happier with the result. Here are a few detail shots where you can see the textures, marks and layers better.
