"Tears"

I had a dream that I saw someone cried when he saw this painting. So I called it "Tears". I wonder who this person really was. I always like very deep texture. The background of this painting is many layers of paint. I used my fingers to scratch over the paint to create that kind of texture. Probably on a subconscious level, I was also releasing certain kind of pain. It does hurt to paint. The emotion is so strong that I just go crazy with the brush.
