Fear

 

"Fear" 12x16 acrylic on board. 

 

I spent quite a bit of time describing the fear in his eyes during the painting process

and succeeded in making the saddest piece on the wall.  It never occurred to me that

I was crafting a depressing painting until it was displayed among others.  For me, art has

always been a selfish endeavor, but when shared with other people, the reality of a piece

changes.  No one wants a sad child on their wall.
