The words read:

This is an unusual piece for me.  I allowed the words to play a more prominent role in the composition of the image.  I will be curious to see what you all think of it.  It is also unusual because I typically create art with messages for others.  This one is a message I very much need to hear in my own life right now.  Why is it SO HARD to let go?!  I just love the myth of control.  I love to pretend I am in charge even when that pretense causes me unlimited grief.  It is craziness!  But it is my nature.

Let go!  Let go!  Let go!

I am hopeful this warm expressive abstract will give some fellow recovering-control-freak permission to rest and to trust.

How Let Go was created.....   This is primarily a traditional brush painting, though I did use a dental tool to "engrave" a few lines here and there.  I built up this abstract composition with layers of color and loose lines, then I used a teeny 18/0 detail brush to paint key details and to add the words.  THe heart was engraved in the surface and then painted.

Let Go was painted on a rigid canvas panel.  The edges of the panel have been painted, so this piece looks lovely displayed just as it is on a small stand or decorative easel.   Or it can be easily and affordably framed as it requires no glass or matting.  ***NOTE: I can include a new plastic stand with your order at no charge if you request one at the time of payment.
