When I first painted this piece it was a yellow background with a person kneeling in worship of a heart, representing longing. It was shown once and then sat in my studio. After quite a bit of time, and a distraught phone call to a friend who advised me to take my emotions out on the canvas, I picked up may brushes and painting edger and worked new layers onto the painting. This time the energy was uplifting, encouraging and focused on myself. This large piece hides a woman’s face, which was a happy accident and fitting for the intention.
