"Life Within" was painted live at my first 3-day craft fair! I was incredibly nervous, and told myself "Just keep painting, just keep painting", and actually painted far more detail than I would have otherwise, which I think makes it a much stronger piece.
 
I love this painting, the movement, the colors; I feel like it tells a story without words, which is exactly what I try to accomplish with my portraits today.

This acrylic painting is 16x20" with 1.5" deep sides, which are also painted. Would look fabulous framed or unframed; it is already wired and ready to hang.
