ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Being comfortable just as you are is like being enlightened. You are beyond what the world thinks you are. The subject is influenced by the wisdom teachings of many cultures, past and present. The form and sculptural pose is in the tradition of Gauguin and Picasso's classical period. The clouds I admit are freely lifted from Georgia O'Keefe. My intention is to convey composure, peace and love of Self. We are perfect and complete. The painting is carried over to the side edges of the stretched canvas so it does not have to be framed.
