Week 3 - 52 Week Project "Vulnerable"
Here is my 3rd print, in the 52 week series. A limited edition of 12 5x7 prints will be available, 10 of which will be for sale on etsy for $5, Free shipping. 2 will be given away. Watch next week for the first four to be given away on the blog.
This is a theme that I keep returning to. It makes me feel unsettled, but for reasons unnamed, I feel compelled to paint these girls in a sinister situation. They are Vulnerable.
You can click on the picture to be taken to the etsy page, or the etsy box in my sidebar to the right, click on my name.

Just found you from another blog! I want to comment and let you know that I love your work!!
I just love your birch trees...and the bear. In fact, I even have a similar painting hanging above my bed. This is one of my favorites of your subjects.
This is a great picture, to me it looks like the bear is looking after the 2 girls who maybe got lost in the woods!
I love how people can get different perspectives from the same piece of art, to you it feels sinister and to me warm and loving ;)

wow - your work is amazing! Love the restrained use of colour, the expressions on the faces and the simple yet powerful composition. Wonderful!
I like it! I posted your Three Muses as an Etsy favorite on my blog. It was hard to pick. Have a wonderful week.
LOVE this one!

I love this painting & I thought the same as Micki- I thought they were all freinds! Doesnt' it go to show that the beauty of art is found by the viewer in so many ways. Either way its fantatastic.
I really love this one, Julie. I agree with another commenter in that we do bring our own perspective to another person's art---I think that's a cool thread. I love the colors in this piece and the technique on the trees---serene, yet a bit of tension. The bear's rosy cheeks tell their own story~~Thanks for sharing.
This is such a big story telling painting. Lovely!
I, too, feel the bear's protection. I live where the bears are frequent visitors and I love to watch their gentle ways. This painting is special!!!
