Description
Oil painting, 14 x 17, 1998
This is my favorite painting of my children. She was 7 and he was 9. Based on a photo with wonderful colors and values I had to paint it. I changed the placement and height of the wave and put more foam around their feet. When working on it I realised that with the placement of the wave it looked like they were walking out/into a potentially dangerous wall. With the older child in front and both facing in slightly different directions I realised that it could be a metaphor for their stepping out into their separate futures alone and vulnerable, so I named it The Wall.
