(used to be the Garden of Stolen Money until I redid the painting)
This painting started out on a luan birch plywood panel. It was in my solo show at PEG gallery in Newburyport, MA in July 2020.
The central mountain was the face of George Washington. I noticed. And I let the face stay. It was over a year afterwards that I leaned into what it could mean. It was my painting showing me that someone I used to trust was robbing me in plain site.
After I realized this, I went about painting over the original painting that was in the show and then bringing it into Corel Painter and reworked digitally.
Now, digital painting is good sometimes. In the case of this piece, it helped alot. More nature spirit images came in ie. a giraffe, a wild cat, a cardinal, a wombat, all super nice symbology and supportive of a gracious and prosperous life here on the farm.
Moral of the Story: Just because you love someone doesn`t mean they wont try and hurt you. oopsie.
