"Endure; The Reign of Sorrow, Acrylic on Canvas, 24 x 48
I am thrilled to have this painting in the 29th Annual Women's Works Show. Reminiscent of the fissures cut by water through the landscape and echoing the colors of the area's native sandstone, this piece serves to investigate the intangible demands of sorrow. I've found that as I am developing a work, it begins to have specific characteristics. My task then is to integrate those characteristics and underlying thoughts in order to convey them accurately and aesthetically. With this specific painting, I found an elusiveness in the lines that I wanted to maintain, as well as an intense level of realism and emotion around her eyes and the way she holds her ears.
