About the Item

This forlorn woman is struggling - you can almost touch the sadness. You can feel her trying to make sense of the chaos that surrounds her, both internally and externally. She is "transforming" - yet we don't know where she will end up in a good or bad place. It was created with a palette knife, so texture is in evidence and really helps makes it pop. This painting has 1.5 inch sides that are painted - so it doesn't need a frame ready to hang. However, a "float" frame will really make it the eye jump right to it in any room. :: 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...
