Art can be beautiful and disturbing. Sculptures can be made from clay, but never flesh. In this circumstance, art is debated and adored. Will an artist be able to put himself into his work with no self-portrait?

The story does contain some graphic imagery, art terms etc.
'The Anguished Man' is an eerie portrait with an unknown history dating back to presumably, Northern England. It's one of the worlds most haunted painting.
This distorted image depicting a figure howling in excruciating pain's medium is blood. This medium has a conceptual meaning and could represent the artist's identification with life and death.
This nightmarish subject matter has inspired this book 'The Painters Death Wish' after the discovery of the artwork, it is sad to announce, that after completing the artwork, the artist committed suicide.
An example of a blood painting would be this landscape painting done by Merryn Singer, rendering death camps during Apartheid.

Review:
THE PAINTERS DEATH WISH/PARANORMAL_PRINCESS
I have read stories with psychological dilemmas however, B.C. Lawrence's Painter's Death Wish shoved my curiosity. The story was written in an emotionally gruesome way. The story revolves of a boy who is in deep aesthetic madness caused by his confusions of real art. "Is blood not thicker than the paint?" Literally, the painting's medium is the painter's blood and flesh. The author's ideology on psychologically troubled individuals is an eye opener for everyone that the horrors they face are not just a typical fears but tormenting nightmares. Every book is not worth comparing to any other stories because it has its own uniqueness and standout at its genre. And this one, the author just nailed it.
