Re-emergence


This is a self-portrait of sorts. Again, very spontaneous, personal prayers are written all through it. It started out being just an interesting image to play with, but as I worked, it began to have meaning and depth to me. I feel like it represents me, as I am re-emerging as an artist. It seemed to speak to me about how I have been trying to do new things, paint in ways that I have never done before, how I have been trying to re-invent myself and become "something" again. I am pretty happy with this, it will do for a while, but over all I feel it got too dark and down the road I may attempt to lighten some of it up a bit. I did not know what to title this - but last night woke up from sleep with the title.
