Description "A Year To Forget"
oils
december 2010 - august 2011

Over the course of 7 months, this painting was the visual journal while wrestling through the pain and the anger from the impact of a destructive scene in my life. It was extremely difficult to come up with an image that was accurate enough to express the pain. Eventually I came up with a scene of a little boy in a forest marked with red X's to get cut down.....and the boy is marked with one too.

This is one of my favorites because I feel like it brings us back to the heart of an artist's artwork ........where it's an outlet for honest release, and sincere expression of oneself in the wrestle of life's hurts and joy's.
