The Long Way Back

10x8x0.7" Original Mixed Media on 140 lbs cold pressed watercolor paper, mounted onto cradled wood panel.

The long way back is quiet.

Loss leaves a lot of colors behind: rust, coral, hot pink, all of it loud and emotional. For me, this painting is what it looks like when a thin veil settles over that, and cooler pools of calm enter. They don’t hide anything. They just turn the volume down, so I can take each feeling one at a time.

One dark line runs down the painting, with pauses, but holding steady through all of it.

It took a long time to get here, but it sure is peaceful.

The fine print:
