Defeated Fem - $550
It may not be yours, but this is my favorite painting I've done to date. There are many aspects of this that touch me personally. In a way, it is me. A mask is worn for so many years that it has become a permanent fixture of mine. Not painted on, but there, formed from life. Always feeling misunderstood. Judged for what I am, or what I am not. Feeling torn between not being good enough, and feeling better than most because so many seem to simply not care. Lonely much of the time. Lost much of the time. Left throughout life at different times. Untrusting because of so much hurt when simply trying to do my best. Struggling. Dreaming. Loving even when people don't deserve it. Beaten. Raped. Scarred. Yet a smile remains. A certain contentment. Knowing who I am deep inside. Standing by my morals and values. Strong through the weakness. Trying to be a savior. Holding onto all my Love in a red balloon...never wanting to let go. Acrylic on Canvas. 24x36? $550 + Shipping
