Extracting from Abstraction

FROM THIS ..............

Here is the finished piece

Towards abstraction of the figure

I have embarked on a long  journey: abstracting the figure. I love the human forms and the poses give me ground to dig into my soul.  I am painting with scratches and scribbles which represent the scars we all carry on our bodies as well as the emotional scars in our hearts.  The figures are surreal: they are my feelings, my thoughts. The painting below is part of this journey.
