The Watchers (December 27th-28th)


The Watchers, all four of them, were painted simultaneously. I wanted to have a suite, a group that could stand on their own even though they belonged together.
The Watchers are friends/enemies. They are the ones who keep you in line providing the automatic dialogue in your head that keeps you in check. They are the manifestations of the comments made by others that bounce around your brain and pop up for no reason. Comments like "You will never amount to anything" or "Don't you ever think you are better than anyone else" are safeguarded and perpetuated by The Watchers.
They only receive the title of friend through default. They lived inside your head so long, you do not know what you would do without them.
