Courage and Wisdom Caught Me Napping


Title: Courage and Wisdom Caught Me Napping
Medium: Acrylic on panel
Size: 5x7 inches
Genre: Magic Realism

This is an allegory about how it's easier to remain comfortably asleep instead of waking to face the challenges that courage and wisdom have to offer. It's a study for a larger painting.

Clarity and Boundaries: oil painting figure landscape surreal

"Clarity and Boundaries" 5x7 oil on Everlast canvas panel. The flower represents clarity, and the right shoulder fading into the background represents boundaries that are vague. The painting represents the moment of arriving at clarity. Clarity helps establish boundaries; knowing what you want means that you cannot be unduly influenced, and can stick to your goals. SOLD.
