Description: 36"x48"
Oil
Being so connected to something one loves, yet thousands of miles away, creates a barrier that almost does not seem real, but it is there.
(Painting #4 in the "Finding Emotions" series)
All of the empty space : You're going out on a limb and it's working. I like the bricks- orange and purple look good side by side. I'm wondering- are we seeing the entire painting, or is this a detail ? She's cropped, as if to be leaving us. Your art leaves me with an unfinished story. I think when you're able to arouse curiosity with a portrait , you've made something very good.
this is the entire painting, i enjoy using cut off edges in my work to allow viewers to complete their own thoughts on the subject. your comments are so thoughtful and excellent, thank you again for the great feedback!! :)
