"January March" ~ 20" x 20" acrylic on canvas board This is a painting I did this weekend, mostly on Friday. Though it was a just a dark and rainy day in January, the continued unseasonably high temperatures had it feeling more like March. My painting started out with just a simple sketch of a women I found in a magazine ad wearing a striped sweater shawl. Then I began imagining forms within the sketch... a stream, hills, waterfall, canyons. I thought to put a waterfall in the throat of the figure with thoughts of the Women's March coming up and used it as a sort of symbol of the voice. Then I encircled her in blue and later the greens started climbing up into the blue... "January March" ~ 20" x 20" acrylic on canvas board
