River Goddess

I've been on a long break from posting! This piece was actually created back in early December, but I never got around to updating this blog. Anyway, the winding river imagery has shown up quite a bit in my work. I'm realizing that I have intuitive visual vocabulary which keeps surfacing as I paint: rivers, roots, structures (pipes, cityscapes, telephone poles), Black women's faces, fluid mountain and seascapes. I also seem drawn to a similar pallet: earth tones, aqua, ochre, soft tans and mossy greens. I can't seem to escape this imagery or color scheme. I'm not yet sure what I am excavating from within myself and spreading out onto the canvas. The mystery continues to unfold...
