One of the things I love most about this painting is the freedom I felt in the brush strokes. Especially in the red paint at the top, the fuchsia paint around the heart on the right, and in the red paint on top of the white lines.<\/p>\n
I wanted to give different perspectives on the capacity our hearts have to love. The word “love” has been collaged into the heart on the right multiple times. The heart in the center appears to be made of glass. Glass can be strengthened to withstand tremendous amounts of pressure, but it is still inevitably destructible.<\/p>\n
Sometimes there is a fine line between a callous heart and a pliable one.<\/p>\n
The heart on the left represents the filters that we look through in relationships and situations. Among other things, our perspectives have been shaped through culture, time, and circumstances. The things that we allow our hearts to entertain will determine what filters are applied and the strength we have to reflect love back onto others.<\/p>\n
<\/i>Be Transparent<\/em> is a 100% hand-painted original acrylic abstract painting on high-quality gallery wrapped cotton canvas. All four sides of the canvas are painted as a continuation of the painting and it comes ready-to-hang for a frameless display.<\/p>\n The canvas is stretched over sturdy pine stretcher bars and hand-splined on the back to minimize the number of staples. It is also coated with a UV-resistant conservation varnish to prevent fading and to protect your investment from dirt and dust.<\/p>\n
