Description
I had so many possible names for this piece: The Face of Art, My Blood Boils, Angry Art but in the end settled on The State of Art. It's one of my second daughter's favourites. The great thing about this abstract painting and many others, is that it must be interpreted by the viewer. The longer you look, the more you see. It is almost a subconscious work which allows perhaps for qualities and characteristics that are not seen in my other work. Whatever you want to see in this painting, I will say that the running liquid represents a tear. For me that tear could be for all the years that I did not paint a single thing. It could also be for the way I was pushed away from art as a career by people around me and especially careers advisors and teachers. I never felt that my art teacher ever saw anything in my art. It could also be for the way some people pay extortionate amounts of money for so called art that makes a complete mockery of the art world.

awesome and loving your description. Have had the same discouraging words from teachers but thankfully encouraging words from people that view our art. You are truly a great artist!
