Description

This painting brings a flood of thoughts that cut to the core. As all of us search for acceptance and the desire to fit in, we want others to understand us but many times we run into things that stop us in our tracks . In this case religion was the thing that caused me to feel like I did not fit and this caused me to feel awkward and clumsy like a fish out of water. This was how I felt about the religion and the church that I was expected to accept and attend. In the end I had to walk away and be myself, being authentic has a price to pay, but the reward is that we are being honest, and not hiding.
I cut a board and sealed it with 8 coats of gesso which will insure the board will last a lifetime. I also did an underpainting then the flesh and last glazed the entire painting to bring it to life.
