Through My Eyes Oil on Canvas. 12" X 9".
This self portrait was done during some very turbulent times. Done with the raw emotions that I was feeling and executed in an Abstract Expressionist - Action Painting style. It expresses the turbulence and anxiety I was feeling at the time.
Background: I hadn't been feeling very good about my life or what I was doing for a living. I was frustrated, depressed and beaten down. It took me many months to begin to overcome the deep depression and walk upright again. A testament to the resilience of the human spirit. Times are still tough as I look to find a new way to make a living and support my family, but I have my art and the belief that if I continue to stay positive and strong good things will come and everything will be alright.
