I am absolutely honored to say that my original painting “Wide Open” has been sold! This is such a special painting to me for a number of reasons namely because this piece features my lovely wife’s eye. Therefore the description that I wrote for it was heavily influenced by her and how she views and interacts with the world. My wife has the incredible bravery to view both the beautiful good and unimaginable bad with an unflinching focus, always pondering how she can be a positive force in this sometimes broken world.
I feel so grateful that some lucky individual loved this painting so much that they wanted it in their home. If you are interested in prints of this piece they are available in my online shop.
Piece Description: I have had the fortune of looking into these eyes almost everyday for the past 11 years. Every raw and complicated emotion has been felt and expressed through these beautiful and haunting eyes. They hold so much love, sorrow, passion, pain, joy and sadness that the only truth of this painting is that we are looking into pure infinity.
Everyday a beautiful soul uses her eyes to see not just the good in our world but also the evil. As much as she sometimes wants to close them to the terrors of our world, she’s keeps them open feeling the pain and sadness that takes place everyday. With her eyes wide open and vulnerable, she takes in all that our world has to offer refusing the flinch at its horrifying beauty.
