From the Corner

16” x 20” Mixed media on canvas

This painting was created with many layers of acrylic paint to create a textured surface that is both visually striking and emotionally evocative. The colors are intense and saturated, creating a sense of drama and intensity.

The painting is a powerful example of how art can be used as a form of therapy. I often use painting as an outlet to express my emotions and to help me process difficult challenges. The yellow corner is a reminder that even in the darkest of times, there is always hope for a better future.

Okay, that 👆 was the AI version, in reality, I had a rough couple of weeks at work. People can be so petty and mean. I stood my ground, defended myself, and, knowing that I never did anything wrong, I ended up stronger. Such is life!

Anyhow, this is the painting that came out of anger, frustration, betrayal, and strength. 💪

    That AI prose just sounds pretentious to me. I much prefer your warm and straight-forward explanation of how you came to make this piece.

    Whew, it seemed like a tussle right away, but I was going to keep it to myself. It reminds me of a bunch of plants fighting for sunlight. I enjoyed your piece. Here’s to a brighter days ahead.

        Teach me your ways. I am notoriously unable to zip it. I think I’m learning to at least pause before responding.
