Letting Go

This is an emotional piece for me, that represents my personal life. This is not a self portrait, but a face I was able to envision as I started painting. The woman's face is coming out of darkness ( a dark and painful past), and she has tears in her eyes. The combination of reds represent struggle and they are in movement because there will always be struggle before there will be ease. The various circles of light were happier and positive times in her past...things she's tried to hold on to. The woman in white surrounded by glitter and lighter colors represents the "letting go"; the release from all the bad energy that has been growing within her mind and spirit. She is headed toward the light which is a bright and positive future, while leaving her dark past behind.
