Acrylic paint with encapsulated strength members, 2020.
Artist statement:
"Angel Wing (Carolina’s Ascension) is the second painting where I used embellishment to make the paint strands look like feathers. Completed in January of 2020, this paining is a tribute to my wife’s mother who lost her battle with cancer and passed away this past week (10-26-2020). Prior to her leaving us, there was a transformation that took place as the physical body deteriorated, slowly giving way. The spirit manifested itself in a growing luminous presence. My hope is that I captured that luminance and sense of flight. . . Beyond."
