1997
Acrylic on canvas board
20" x 30"

This is an interpretive piece I did in 1997 around
the time I was separating from my wife.
I was very depressed about the situation and frankly not sure how we
had gotten to that point in our marriage.

The image is an extension of that feeling.
All of the emotion I had; love, hate, anger, sadness...it all seemed to be
going nowhere, least of all where I wanted it to go - to her.
The emotion flows right through or around her.
The figure on the left represents me. I have no hands - our feelings are cut off.
Her pose is one of nonchalance. Her mind made up.
The color is representative of the emotions as well.
Blue overwhelms everything even though
in our own heads we are both full of emotion.
