Skull painting

I hate when people say "Art is stupid. Anyone can live of his art. If you want to be an artist, you'll be poor... You need money!". I know money it's important, but I prefer to be happy doing what do I want. It's my future! My family trust me and they always say that I will be good at painting, but, well, it's family hahaha. I sometimes paint (when I break with my time, because I'm a disaster, you know...) on weekends. Last week I get my charcoals and I started with a skull. I love skulls, they have a deep meaning, what do you think? I try to do some "painful" paintings, because I think it's easy to paint a tree. You can practice how to paint a landscape, but not emotions! I really prefer to show ideas, fears and some hard things. I loved when a friend told me "your drawings are so... well... I imagine a crazy man drawing that, not you", because I wanted to cause this idea. Here you have the skull painting. Hope you like it!
