This is an abstract original painting on a solid wood panel measuring 11 x14. 
It's ready to hang, how cool is that? 
The sides are painted too! 

The inspiration was my partner. He has a frontal lobe injury he sustained as a passenger in a car accident. Emotions, impulse control, and short-term memory all are functions of the frontal lobe. 
Brain injuries are cruel, you don't know you're perceiving the world differently, you just are. There are days I say things to him and he gets whatever I am saying totally wrong from what the intended meaning was. Then he gets Krakatoa-level mad at me. 
One day I had a discussion of some current event with a few people and I tried to tell my partner about what was talked about - he went bananas in some other direction entirely and wound up angry at me about it! 
Mostly it's not a big deal living day to day with his brain injury but man, there are moments. This was one of them.

Hello, and welcome to my colorful corner of the world! I'm Jo Potocki, a self-taught artist hailing from the vibrant city of Toledo, Ohio. My journey into art began as a personal exploration, a way to translate the whirlwind of ideas in my mind onto a canvas or paper or whatever. Each piece has a little story to tell. I paint on canvas, paper, and vintage photos, which are VERY special. Most are over 100 years old, and they are truly one of a kind. When you look at my art, you see the world through my eyes for just a bit. But you're also adding what your eyes see - so maybe that makes us friends.
