Where Do I Go With This?

Published on January 14, 2009 in Art, Art by black women, ART GALLERY, Digital Art, Originals, PTSD, Self Portrait, Visionary and Women. 2 Comments

These two paintings are based on an original sketch is called “I Can Forgive You”. After several digital alterations that title no longer fits. I’m just calling it Blue Flower for now because the lady is holding a blue flower. You may also notice in the original sketch there’s a figure supporting the larger body who is holding two heads. When I did the digital alteration I chose to leave the two smaller heads, one lighter and one darker. Sunflowers represent multiple lives within one head. They swirl and bump into one another, tangling, twisting, forever moving but they cannot disturb her as she seeks to find her center.

Here are two different versions of an original sketch called ‘I Can Forgive You.”

I have no idea if I’ll continue to work on this digitally or not, thus the entry title, “Where Do I Go With This?”

PTSDIf it had a face what would it look like? If it were a colour, what colour would it be? Would it be bright or dull, vivid or muted?

Here is a bit about this painting and a little about how Post Traumatic Stress Disorder affects me.

The eyes show me looking out from a chaotic landscape. In the landscape are bright, vivid colors which expresses how raw my nerves are and how sensitive they are to stimulation around me. With Post Traumatic Stress Disorder I see every movement and hear every sound.

Forgiveness

At first glance a young man concluded this painting was about a mother forgiving her young prodigal daughter. I didn’t correct him. This painting shows an older woman embracing her younger self and offering forgiveness for past mistakes and failings. The young self kneels before the older woman having asked for nothing other than a place to lay her head. The older woman who has grown physically and spiritually knows the younger self was caught up in the spring of youth and needs what we all need, a place to rest our transgressions. In the lap of experience the young one is allowed to rest.

“Forgiveness” is part of the Faceless Beauty Collection here on SUNDRIP – Art for Life .
