Artist’s Garden (The)

The Artist’s Garden…

This painting is a self-portrait of sorts. I was thinking about the contentment I feel in my studio. It’s a safe little womb where I’m free to contemplate and create. In the studio, the rest of life seems a little removed, thus her lovely little house painted in the background. The red immediately surrounding her is warm and passionate. I wrote about grapevines being a personal symbol of my family somewhere, way back. I like the way she gently holds her paint brushes.
