Lauras Kiss

Laura's Kiss.... is a 20x24 oil on linen. I was inspired to do this painting after reading a blog by a "friend" on Myspace named Laura. It appeared that we had suffered many of the same heartaches as children, and even adults. I carried this around with me for a few weeks, and then decided to try and do a painting showing the uncanny and most unfortunate ways that two people who have never met can relate to one another and even share emotion for a brief time...

I hope you enjoy this painting... and dont focus on the sadness these two women are feeling, but rather on the communion they are sharing.

Surrendering

20x24 oil on canvas... I was at first a bit upset with the message of this painting. After all, surrendering is not always a good option, however, after giving it more thought, I came to terms with the painting. Surrendering doesnt always have to be a bad thing. We can surrender to love, feelings, a better way... etc. I like it much better now, and the message can be more positive than originally intended!
