Forsaken
America is celebrating its 250th birthday. So, it's a good time to exhibit Forsaken, a 4' x 5' acrylic on canvas I painted over the last month.
While painting, I understood more deeply that a caring, superior presence pervades every area of our life. It works through us to bring love, inspiration, enlightenment, and goads us into acting on behalf of the greatest good—if we allow it.
I had no idea what would emerge when I picked up the paint brush after 15 years. There was no plan, no sketch, no intention, just the hope of enjoying the process and creating some balance in my life again. That, it did. I'm grateful.

Stunning painting! There's so much to unpack here but when I look at the face, I feel her pain. I wonder if you could share a little more about it.

You've certainly captured the beating our Lady Liberty has taken over the past year and a half. I especially appreciate the small details—our tattered flag and the dimming of our stars. Also, the language captured the pain and sorrow so many of us feel. The angels did give me some hope that healing and restoration are possible.
Your piece is very bold and should definitely be in an exhibit.
