Painting: My recent escape from reality

For some reason, I've never really been a HUGE fan of painting. I mean I enjoy looking at paintings. I like painting, but I've personally never pursued in it. I've recently gone to a couple art museums including the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the De Young, and the Legion of Honor. And what's the biggest type of artwork on display in the exhibits? PAINTINGS!

During these hectic stressful times, I find myself trying to get away from reality by trying this widely used medium. For the last couple of weeks (when I find time), I've been working on this painting...

I'm not even close to finishing it. I used watercolor. I'm not sure what my theme is or what I'm trying to communicate with the viewer. I've just been throwing random things in as I go, either what I'm thinking or feeling at that moment. Hopefully it turns out better then it looks right now in the process.
