Artist's Comments From Artist Blog 6/15/06
This gem is one of my new June paintings. It resembles the pieces in my Celestial Correspondence series but is much, much smaller. I wanted to challenge myself to paint smaller. The experience was a little frustrating as I missed the full arm brush strokes used in my larger pieces.
I have also changed the way I have been handling my backgrounds by making it lighter and giving a darker base for the figure to lay on. This gives the piece a sense of grounding and is a little more comfortable for the viewer to identify with the figure.
My husband was really uncomfortable with this change and felt that I was moving away from my style. I believe it is just another step in the ongoing experiment that every painting seems to be a part. This makes me think of Stephen Kingâs Dark Tower Series and how many of his stories throughout his body of work somehow intertwine with the larger storyline. You can see that all of his characters are somehow related which logically they have to because they are all connected through him. This is my story in pictures and somehow all of my paintings reflect some aspect about myself that is a result of continuous research to reveal the human condition and what is sacred about each of us.
This lady reflects the degree of comfort I have recently found in myself. Becoming more comfortable in your own skin is worth more than gold. Of course looking carefully into the eyes you can see I'm not quite there yet but working hard to find the inner peace that comes with age and experience. I am not sure if the eyes are ever watchful and vigilant or full of continued curiosity and wonder about the world. What does the eyes say to you?
