I have plans for many more versions of these paintings. I love painting them so much, probably because the image of a face conveys so much emotion. I see parts of myself and my own feelings in each one of these pieces. From peace, determination to strength and assurance. These are feelings that I want to feel more of! Painting these pieces has been a spiritual process for me so I might have a hard time letting these go.
What do you see reflected in these faces?
Of all your work Elise, these are my favourites.
ReplyDeleteMy breath was taken away when your first Girl showed herself.
They are compelling and beautiful.
I see in them that which you say.
They bring me to tears, for in them I see not only great strength.
but pain and sorrow.
Don't let them go yet, it's not time.
Peace.
Thank you so much Laurie! These are my favorite too and I plan to paint many many more versions.
