Under the scope I

A painting of a girl with a flashlight who is standing on a hill in the meadows. The background is of different colors: blue, purple, green. The light that she is flashing is red, orange, yellow. The thought behind the painting is..."even when you are lost, keep shining your light."

Shine your light

This was created during a particularly scary and exhausting heartbreak. I chose to paint in my favorite colors that undulate and ripple amongst each other, gold flashes here and there. These colors became familiar as I grew to fall in love with painting again. This piece is a colorful one, a cheerful-looking peek into how I felt while under a spell. Palisades aren’t beautiful but when you’ve only heard the word of course they sound like something lavish. But palisades are used as makeshift defenses during war: sharpened wood or iron stakes driven into the ground, blocking off travel. Some of the best defenses resemble characteristics we all wish we had. All we need is a little flash gear to avert the inquisitive gaze long enough to shift comfortably. On the other hand we’re dazzled by it for split second ourselves, even when the gold leaf is thin and flaking.
