About the Item

As a school psychologist by training, I'm often interested in the psychological dimension of human behavior. I basically believe that we are all flawed. We have emotions - and unique personalities - and at some point in our lives, most of us become "broken" to various degrees. It may be the break-up of a relationship, a lost job, death of someone close, or just life beating us up. This painting was a combination of brush and palette knife - a technique I'm going to be exploring more of. This one should be framed - and that will be your contribution to the art! :: Painting :: Abstract :: This piece comes with an official certificate of authenticity signed by the artist :: Ready to Hang: Yes :: Signed: Yes :: Signature Location: bottom right front :: Canvas :: Portrait :: Original :: Framed: No

Leaving the Sea Behind, Painting, Acrylic on Canvas
By John Barney
Located in Yardley, PA
This is a continuation of my "Contemplation" series - which explores my fascination with people who are "working something out." We're all flawed people - and ultimately we are all searching for our own place of peace. Perhaps this woman's solace was the ocean...maybe she doesn't need it anymore, or perhaps more than ever. This will make a fantastic centerpiece for your living or work space. It has 1.5 inch sides painted gray - it'll blend well in almost any room. It was created with a palette knife - so texture is evident. The scraping of the knife and the blending of color give it its character. These paintings "pop" - they are not shy - explore your mind with a JB painting...

Fractured, Abstract Oil Painting

Artist Comments
Emerald green, red iron oxide, and black strokes sweep across the abstract composition. White lines cut through the piece, giving it a fractured appearance. Marks created to reveal the underlayer enhance the overall effect, adding texture and depth to the painting.
