And Yet They Had Hope



Paintings are often mirrors that reflect us back to ourselves without us realizing it. When I was in Terzian Galleries dropping some paintings off, I loved hearing comments about this piece. The people coming in, either loved it or hated it, there was no in between. They didn't know I was listening, or that I had painted it. Their feedback was fascinating to me. The title explains my views.
And Yet They Had Hope, 42"x 42", oil on canvas.

It’s terrifying; especially terrifying since the the subjects are children.

I love paintings that make me think and feel. Life is like diving into the deep, we never know what sharks are waiting for us but we dive in anyway. I saw your work on ‘Artful’ and just had to look you up’, my maiden name was Proctor.

Winslow Homer would be proud. I love your version.
