Lady With an Axe

SOLD.
As soon as this work was posted I received a very strong positive response, as opposed to a morbid, Lizzie Borden view of the work, people were more inclined to comment of the empowering aspects of the women, that whatever was coming towards them, they were ready to face it, which did come as a surprise. I am quite happy with these and the expansion of my "vocabulary". I always take a Hemingway approach to a painting, he said, "I write to see what's at the end of my pen.". I believe I do the same with my paintings, I may not quite understand why I'm doing them, but I'll be sure of it later, it's why I'm most comfortable working in series, I"m sure.
