Description
This painting is called "Rebirth" for many reasons. The main reason being that I began painting the first part of it (most of the colors) in Georgia when I wasn't sure what I wanted to do with my life. I finished the painting in WI where my love and entire life were in contentment. I'm happy with where I am, and the canvas in a way came along for my journey. My mother gave me the canvas for my 22nd birthday last November (2009). During the 800 mile move from GA to WI I had to cut the canvas off of it's wooden beams, and leave my mother and family behind to start my own life with my fiance'. It remained tacked to the wall for a long time. It's probably my most meaningful piece, and I am very proud of it for that reason. It also took me the longest to complete of any painting I've ever attempted. I owe a thousand thanks to !KessM for allowing me to use her picture as a reference. Her photo spoke to me in a strange way, and allowed me to complete the image you see above. With my eyes, I see my heart all over this canvas. That is unchangeable.Painted in Acrylics.

I decided I needed to comment on this, but I don't even know wat to say. This painting says enough. There's so much emotion in the colours and forms. You always manage to fit so many things into a painting, but always make them all fit together. They seem to move.

About the same, minus the school. I suck at the Internet lately. Don't stay too busy, dear. Wouldn't want a lovely person like yourself going mad

Really like it. There's a lot of shapes and colors going on, but it all works together well. Great brushwork in the upper right area combining yellow and what looks like red, Really good "woman illustration" (for lack of a better way of putting it) in the foreground and how the red is streaming from her hair. Really compelling piece

Thank you so much! I did have a photo to reference in regards to the womans figure, but I think she deleted her DA

you know this is my favourite of all your paintings..
it has a lot to do with her strong pose I think (I love that picture too) and the way you painted it with the heavy black lines
