Here I have posted several pictures of women. Some are recent, some from a few years past. Some, I may have posted previously.
I wonder why I create so many pictures of women? The easy answer is that I just want to paint women. But there must be more to it than that. The answer is not easy to formulate. I am a woman, do I paint the idealized woman that I want to be? Ummm, I guess that is it. Being feminine is deeply interesting. I am exploring fascinating territory.
Some artist paint their sorrows. Picasso's "Guernica", is one of my favorite pictures. It is devastating, intense suffering is portrayed. There is no attempt to show the bright side of life. There was no bright side of life in Spain during that war.
I am, unfortunately well acquainted with suffering. But, I do not want to paint pain. Maybe, making art, for me is escapist, a denial of the desperate low points of life. I want beauty, joy, spiritual ascendance. So, I create pictures of what I want.
