About my painting, ENTER CALM AND JOY
ENTER CALM AND JOY
Original _ 2020-2023_ Oil on Canvas _ 60 x 20 in.
L.A Fashion Week 2023
Enter Calm and Joy was painted during the tail end of the COVID19 Pandemic. It is not part of the Pandemic Series, but rather one of three pieces that were a segue for me to attempt to reconnect to some sense of inner peace, calm and joy after being shut in 'solitary confinement' inside a small space for more than two years - - - NOT "2 weeks to slow the spread!" (Who thought that this was an okay thing to do to people? It was cruel & inhumane. Many artists suffered severely. As a group, many of us are still struggling.)
In this work, PEACE CALM & JOY are trying to return.
In this work, JOY is trying to get out. Trying to get out!
Let us out of our homes, California!
Return CALM AND JOY!
