Description
This one of my latest oil pieces. I used reference for pose and headwrap design from a photograph by . I wanted to do this painting because to many woman rely soley on their body and see that as their only beauty. Many feel that their only path to love is through the physical. I believe differently. I believe that even covered a woman is beautiful. There is more to a person than just the flesh and until women learn to respect their own beauty, no one else fully can. The most important love is self love. This was painted in the hopes that a woman somewhere will see her own beauty reflected in this painting and respect the power that is hers.Related content

i love this painting and the comment you made for the reason why you drew it, so sad but oh so true, i believe women are more beautiful when they are modest in their dress,conduct, and behavior
great job on the art work

that in itself is an amazing message
the mystery of wondering what lies beneath should never be underrated

This is so true. The mystery is more compelling than most things in this world. It can move a man like nothing else.
Thank you for this comment. It is appreciated.

*amazed* her beauty has been conveyed brilliantly by you. your choice of color, the expression on her lovely face...and her eyes do speak to me and whoever will listen...you deserve a hug but i am way over in maui.
i am a makeup artist and a painter & do my best to teach my clients that beauty is from the inside first. it's my motto. "beauty from the inside out"
kudos to you, beautiful person

Wow. Thank you for such a beautiful comment. Here is a hug for you that will reach you in Maui.
I'm going to visit your gallery. And I admire you for teaching your clients about what beauty is. It is a subject that many won't approach honestly or just don't know how. Much respect to you.

Her eye is strikingly beautiful!

Wow, seems like your pieces get more and more beautiful with each try. I've been experimenting with oil, which allows me to really appreciate how skillful this is, that's some hard mess to use!

Great work. Done in oil paint (which amazes me because I really am not very good at painting at all) too. I think the message is conveyed really well through it, and of course, it's really amazing visually, too. Great work.

The artist statement eloquently described the focus of the painting but I was wondering if the cloud formation in the background and the illusion of wind blowing her scarf had any specific significance?

The sky as a whole is meant to give the feeling of a cool breeze and beautiful skies after a storm. I believe that is how a person feels when they come into a sense of self. Its like a cool breeze in the desert. Wouldn't you agree?

That is about as appropos analogy as any. Personally though, when I experience some sort of epiphany or another I feel like a weight or pressure has been released and I can breath freely.

Thank you. I was once told that all my art carried a sad aura. I hope that I have grown to the point where that is no longer true of all of my newer work.

some do however in that sad aura there is a striving to see something more. Its quite hard to explain but very inspiring
