I miss my man, but I'm not going to be treated like that. Here's a painting I did instead of calling them and getting back together like a total loser. #art #physicalmedia #painting #artist #blackartist #blackart #acrylicpainting

I love seeing Furi give Eva all the tender reassurance she needs 🥹💜 She's always been very attentive with her and I adore that for them 🥰

So I added the cutscene in my game and did a test run and here's what it looks like so far. Also, excuse the error message, it's something I was too sleepy to fix last night😅

Two dancers stride together across the canvas in a synchronized, rightward motion. Each figure is shown in profile with one heel lifted, elbows bent, and hands poised in a way that suggests rhythm more than literal anatomy. Their skin is rendered in deep brown tones, while their clothing erupts in saturated blue, gold, orange, black, and white patterns with checks, stripes, diamonds, and zigzags that feel like woven textiles translated into paint. White dotted headwraps echo the beat of the repeated shapes. The dark background, interrupted by warm vertical bands, gives the scene a stage-like setting while keeping our focus on the dancers’ bodies and garments. American artist Charles Searles does not paint a realistic performance so much as a visual pulse of repetition, color, and pattern to create the sensation of movement, music, and collective energy.

That sense of motion is a highlight of the artist’s work. A Philadelphia-born African American artist, Searles studied at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts and drew lasting inspiration from African art, textiles, and dance. Accounts of his work repeatedly connect his vivid patterning and kinetic forms to those interests. In “Dancers,” the paired figures are almost like variations on a single step, emphasizing continuity, companionship, and ceremony rather than individual portraiture. The painting is joyful, but also disciplined so that every repeated motif helps turn dance into structure.

Searles turns dance into a language of memory and identity. The repeated figures suggest echo, ancestry, and shared movement across time, while the vivid blues, golds, oranges, and whites carry the energy of celebration, ceremony, and performance. His bold geometric patterns recall textiles and design traditions linked to Africa and the African diaspora, so the painting is not only motion in the present, but is a visual connection to cultural history, resilience, and joy.

The title comes from the spiritual “Oh, Mary, Don’t You Weep,” a song of sorrow, faith, and promised deliverance. American artist Charles Wilbert White draws on that tradition to make an image of mourning that is also an image of strength. These women can be read as Mary and Martha grieving Lazarus, but White avoids theatrical miracle imagery. 

Two Black women stand close together. The woman on the left faces outward and avoids our gaze with tired, alert eyes. She wears a light striped headscarf tied at the back and a sleeveless floral dress. Her skin is rendered with rich tonal modeling. Her arms fold across her own chest and midsection, creating a guarded, self-containing posture. The woman on the right turns in profile, her face lifted slightly upward and away. She has short, close dark hair and wears a loose, light-toned blouse with delicate trim at the neckline. One of her hands rises toward her chest while the other rests low across her abdomen. Their arms almost touch at the center, making the composition feel like a single structure of grief, support, and endurance. The background is spare and smoky, so that White’s dense graphite and ink hatching gives full attention to bone, muscle, cloth, and emotional weight.

White lingers in the human interval before relief to depict the moment when anguish is carried through touch, breath, and shared presence. That choice is central to his art. In the 1950s, White was devoted to representing Black life with dignity, gravity, and psychological depth, rejecting caricature and sentimentality alike. Here, the women are neither allegorical decoration nor passive sufferers. They are monumental, self-possessed, and emotionally complex. The drawing transforms private grief into collective witness, honoring Black womanhood as a site of resilience, tenderness, and moral force.

it's still a working progress. I didn't know what to draw so I decided to draw a random character instead. probably might give her a name, I'm working on something and it's not ready yet so here's this drawing instead.
