Message
"Standing Strong", 20 x 24". oil and cold wax on paper, mounted to a 1.5" deep, cradled wood panel.
I did this painting as a tribute to the strength of the Ukrainian people using the colors of their flag. It’s called “Standing Strong”. The title refers to the birch tree standing alone on the rocky slope but is symbolic to the struggle that Ukraine faces under attack right now. The pale yellow and cadmium yellow are highly saturated and there is inherent light in the blue color of the trees. I was looking for the effect of luminosity as a metaphor for hope.
I will donate a portion of the sale of this work to a Ukrainian Relief Fund.
