3/4" Deep Profile - Ready for hanging or framing of your choice

This beautiful painting was created during several sessions of Recovery Art where I utilize the process of painting as a coping skill to tackle some of life's biggest challenges. In this particiular painting I was "Breaking Through" all the expectations set on me from loved ones, employers, teachers, etc. but mostly those self limiting beliefs we place upon ourselves.  Watching the "who" I would become outside of these barriers. 

Done one layer at time (I lost count after 17) with crayons, pastels, paint pens, markers, pencils, charcoal, graphite, paint and anything that will make a meaningful mark on the canvas. In between these mark makings are layers of paint.  A layer of warm colors like reds, oranges, magenta's and other pinks and certain yellows followed by a contrasting layer of cool colors - the blues, greens, purples, and some yellows are layed down until just the perfect balance creates a beautiful image that draws you in and keeps you asking for more. The last layer of mark making turns some of the cyclones of life into pretty flowers and the obstacles into pleasing designs, finally creating this layer cake of composition, color, texture, and emotions.
