I thought I'd tell you what the painting is in my new header.
EDIT: The name of the painting is "All That Is Seen and Unseen" (if you can tell me where the title comes from you get ...a cookie LOL Your clue is: I will be shocked if Amber doesn't know the answer ;) )

The painting represents the paradox of Faith. Faith is suppose to light your way through life but often blinds you to the rest of the world and other religions. The background is an overlapping of many different religious symbols. She is searching for her way, but is having trouble seeing through her faith. You have to caste off the blindfold to see the truth.
I felt this piece is very appropriate for the the blog. And I do love it so :).
For you artsy people its : MDF board mounted at 52" by 18" acrylic airbrush with pastels and watercolor pencils over a charcoal underdrawing. An absurd amount of hours, definitely my fav of the series (there is also hope, truth, and love.)

Very pretty. I saw it last night before I went to bed, and before you posted this, and wondered if you'd drawn it, but I was tired and figured I could ask in the morning. :)
ReplyDeleteAre we going to see the other paintings in the series?
It's gorgeous. You are so talented! I really get the idea of the blindfold and the lamp together.
ReplyDeleteI like the way you've drawn her body.
Amber: Hmmmm I could Post 2 of the 3 others. I really REALLY didn't like how Hope turned out LOL It was rushed. I needed to finish these for my gallery opening so I could graduate. I think I did Hope in a weekend. This was the second, but most think that Love is the best one.
ReplyDeleteSarah: I like using different body types. A curvy woman just filled the canvas better. That, and she was willing to be a model LOL
Beautiful painting with a deep meaning. Also, the title is from the Nicene Creed. :)
ReplyDeleteI love it.
ReplyDeleteAnne: You are CORRECT! You get a cookie...you'll get it later I'm at work. LOL
ReplyDeleteAh hahaha...
ReplyDeleteBanana Anne beat me to it.
The Nicene-Constantinopolitan Creed aka the Nicene Creed because no one can *say* Constantinopolitan. :)
I really like the title of the piece. It fits beautifully.
And, of course, if you want to post the other pieces, I'd love to see them. Which ever ones you want us to see.
Amber: Yeah that word is too long, can't say it LOL
ReplyDeleteI'll post Love and Truth later.

I did paint it :)
ReplyDeleteMake sure the cookie is oatmeal raisin. :)
ReplyDeleteI admit, I had to Google the quote, but once I saw it was from the Nicene Creed I remembered it (at my old church I think we use a different phrase when we say the creed).
Oh oh oh it's also from the Qur'an! Sort of, hahah. Muslims are to believe in the ghrayb, or the unseen things that are known only by God!
ReplyDeleteBet you didn't see THAT coming hey LK! :P hehe
Ellen: hahaha well it wasn't what I was thinking about but I know that one is to believe in the unseen, for God knows and sees what we cannot.
ReplyDeleteReally pretty. I love the story behind it. :)
ReplyDeleteAmazing! Bravo!!
ReplyDeleteI love curvy women; i love religions; I accept that religion blinds us to other religions while you seek the truth earnestly; and I love you!
This is my personal favourite from all your sketches/paintings. Very nice!
thanks Susanne
