MEDIUM/GROUND: Oil and oil pastel on canvas board. Limited use of brushes -- painted directly from paint tubes. SIZE:16"x20", unframed DESCRIPTION: There is a darker side to the Goddess. She calls our souls to rebirth through death. Before growth & construction can occur, they must be proceeded by destruction & death, in some manner. Within in Her shines the light of all that is to come in our new form. In areas of this painting paper was laid then later removed before the paint set. This is to represent the pieces of ourselves and our lives that feel as if missing after someone has passed. The chosen colors are intended to represent the stark effects of the lights of emergency vehicles in the night.

Very interesting piece. Yet before opening the large version of this picture I wanted to say that it reminds me of Marc Shagall, now I see that I am not the only one to notice it. Aniways, I love this! Wonderful painting. Keep doing good work! 10+++!Sara Deutsch 17 Jul 2005

Great work!joan warburton 06 Jul 2005
Beautiful piece but I disagree with your philosophy a bit. You can't mourn until you've lived. There's no growth until you have something to strive for. Having never known happiness, death and destruction become the norm with no reason to think otherwise. It's the old story.... which came first, the chicken or the egg, LOL!
