When The Light Comes

Published on July 5, 2009 in Art, Art by black women, Black Children, Children, Digital Art, Innocence Gallery and Visionary. 4 Comments

This is the sister painting to Night Hold.

The close up view shows rays of chaotic color held back by light. Her hand also pushes it back while the other reaches for what she needs and longs for.

The child is not afraid, she’s been waiting for her shining light to come. It’s not an end nor is it somewhere far away. She walks into hope right here, right now on the earth we know.

Night Hold is pictured below.

Waiting for My Father

Published on June 14, 2009 in Angels, Art, Art by black women, Digital Art, Visionary, Women and Women of Strength. 2 Comments

Waiting for My Father is an inspired piece based on a recent experience with a young lady whose father treats her like a princess.

I was going for a soft, gentle moment, a transfiguration of mind and body. I wanted swirls of light and soft colors to grow into stronger ones that form her and give her wholeness.

This is why her body isn’t in a solid state until you get to her torso. She’s morphing and growing as she waits for her Father patiently.

Waiting for My Father is along the same lines as the painting called Sanctuary. Both are available on Redbubble in various print formats. Please see my sidebar for the Redbubble link.

Splash – Chase the Rainbow

Published on May 26, 2009 in Art by black women, ART GALLERY, Art Sale, Children, Digital Art and Innocence Gallery. 0 Comments

This updated version of Splash was nearly forgotten in a heap of old art. The first time I tried this painting I didn’t know what face the give the child so I didn’t add one at all. I liked how it turned out but I think this one is much more pleasing and expresses the joy I was going for.

Slash – Chase the Rainbow shows a young redheaded child splashing right through a rainbow with yellow galoshes and big bright orange umbrella. The painting shows pure joy and freedom as a child dances in the rain. Also shown is the sister painting called Raindrops.

Moments

There are many moments when I need a security blanket.

I wasn’t feeling terribly sad when I painted these. I wanted to work on facial expressions which explains why the first painting has a slightly different expression than the second.
