This piece is a remake of an earlier piece that was not recoveredfrom the Omaha Summer Arts Festival storm last year. I decided that if I was going to redo this one that it would have to be on a larger scale ( this version measures 30 x 30 inches ) and that it would delve deeper into the emotions and life experiences that inspired this piece. It took me a longer time than usual to finish this piece. Each element was carefully thought out. It is a powerful piece for me, releasing some demons, that unfortunately will resurface... but in the mean time cleansing my soul a little.
As a visual thinker with a very visual memory, I am often frustrated when trying to communicate. I don't mix well with literal thinkers if they do not understand or do not at least try to understand the way my thought process works. When recalling an earlier conversation, I will never be able to offer exact words to you... If you allow me to speak in context, or to describe the conversation... I am better.
Most of the people close to me understand this about me and are supportive. Problems occur when you are confronted with someone who has a manipulative personality. Someone who claims you must be lying because you can not bring to mind the exact words.. Someone who may use this against you.
I am sorry for the delay in posts... I have been going through some personal things that are slowing me down... :( Be patient with me... I feel I am on a roll!

P.S. To give you grasp of the scale of this piece. The girl in front (literal) measures 17 inches tall!
