About The Artwork
This painting was inspired by a model's pose that gave me the feeling of a quiet despair. I decided to paint it in blues because of this feeling, so it took on underwater appearance as I added layers of paint. I used it to portray a universal feeling of drowning or being overwhelmed that we can sometimes feel. There is a companion piece called "Don't" featured in this online gallery that uses a different crop of this same model and painted in greens that gives a different feeling -- one of resistance. This does not have a frame, but the edges are painted in a similar blue, and a wire on the back makes it ready to hang.

United States
I enjoy painting people and scenes in a universal way that captures common experience. I do this by combining emotional and experiential contexts through color, texture, and figurative elements. I try to convey joy, tension, confusion, thoughtfulness, loneliness, or tranquility through quiet scenes I see or by depicting meaningful moments I or my children have experienced. I paint primarily from life, my own original photographs, or imagination, so my work usually starts with realism but can venture into abstraction. Imagination and abstraction from the figurative often evolve as I am actually painting and like what I see happening in passages of paint and then go with it, continuing with color and expressionistic experimentation on the canvas simply because I think it is beautiful.
