Can't stand the light - WIP

Description

A personal piece I am working on off and on (haven't really touched it in a while now). It's of course not in b&w but I desaturated it to check the values and kinda liked it that way :)

The idea for this painting is the urge to fit in even until self sacrifice. I had that idea while watching a TV show about Richard Chamberlain the actor where he mentioned that he was gay. That made me think back to my uncles who both had to grow up with their gayness hidden. I can only imagine what a incredibly burden that is..

There are some important layers missing but I don't want to show everything just yet :)
Besides, who knows how long it is going to take me to finish that thing..

Most parts are still (obviously) pretty rought..
