Acrylic on Archival Gallery-Stretched Canvas, 12 x 12". Ready to hang!
Every once in a while, when I am painting, I have to pinch myself. It hurts, but I feel so lucky to be able to do what I love. I am grateful to be able to paint, to use my brain, my emotions, my past and present to create a tangible something. It is especially poignant because I had to give it up completely for a period of time when I was first diagnosed with RA. But here I am.
Today, I am diving in to something different. It's exciting for me. I know. To each his own, right? Beginning with an aqua pencil, I sketched graphite lines on top of the white surface and using water on a brush, touched the graphite and created something that resembles an ink wash. This was the foundation upon which I added color. Sometimes transparent, to let the pencil show through, and sometimes opaque. It was an interesting puzzle. Interesting enough to do a series. In light of what is happening in our country, I've been thinking about what words or phrases I could create a series and then this came to me. Justice For All. I see human figures in this painting. The title seems fitting. It's something we can all get behind, I think.
