I'm sharing a painting with you today... this work is available for purchase. Shattered Walls was a labor of pure emotion. It took days to complete because the mediums take so long to dry in Florida but it's so worth the time and effort.

Create a work that shares details or just how you felt about any walls that you broke through in 2011.
For me.. I'm using this painting as my submission for this challenge.. it's not all about journals after all. *wink* While working on this, I thought about the freedom that living simply gives and about the walls that I broke through in my personal and professional life this year. I made personal breakthroughs in my emotional health, in the relationships I have with my children and in believing in myself. I have begun dealing with the trauma of childhood and am not letting those things dictate my actions anymore. Now I'm dealing with the aftermath of my illness and refuse to let it stop me. I didn't break through that wall, I shattered it.
Here's a few other detail shots:
What walls have you shattered in 2011?

Thank you guys... your comments, emails and facebook notes mean the world to me.
ReplyDeleteHi Teressa
ReplyDeleteits Helen here you sent me the link to your blog via the Mixed Media Art Group on Facebook yesterday after I commented on your Shattered Walls as I wanted to read more.
WOW! and double WOW!
I've been stuck literally just looking over and over again at this piece, I simply love it. Somehow I feel connected because at age 41, six children and two marriages under my belt I too am a recovering person both in terms of health and childhood abuse trauma. I've travelled a long way through a deep dark tunnel but have been out the other side for a good couple of years now and exploring myself more fully through art now. At first I kept this hidden online, only posting about my fibre art, handspinning yarn and knitwear designs because that seemed easier but lately over last year I've felt more and more of a pull to share artwork with others, its what has led me here to read your posts.
I love Shattered Walls, its beautifully strong and powerful yet delicate at the same time, vulnerability is still present but consumed by strength.
You have a fantastic technique, very organic and natural.
Thank you so very much for sharing this side of yourself out there, I feel so privileged to have been able to view your work today.
Happy Creative and Beautiful New Year to you, may you continue to grow in strength, warmth and love which is already emulating from within your work.
Your new friend, Helen x
