Early Conditioning




Early Conditioning. 12x24 oil on linen. We are taught from an early age to "conform", to "be good". It can bring with it shame, the feeling of being stupid, insecurity, even self-hatred, which can be carried with us as baggage for our entire lifetime. Doing this painting was difficult for me, it touched those painful childhood experiences. Hopefully it will be healing also.
