Reflecting
Reflecting
24 X 30
Acrylic on studio canvas
The figure in this piece seems to be caught in a moment of reflection. Perhaps life has become a sea of choices that must be waded through. Reflecting captures those moments in our lives when we are faced with a choice and the answer evades us. It is the place where we surrender our determination in a moment of reflection.
Quote that inspired the piece:
"Some artists reveal a deep insight into reality, a capacity to see beneath the surface of nature and people, an awareness that uncovers for us a spiritual vitality in our world, in ourselves--and points us toward God. What has stuck me is that a truly contemplative and prayerful person seems to have a similar capacity for seeing deeply into reality, the ability to pay attention to what is beneath the surface, a willingness to concentrate long enough to catch a vision."
