Empowered - January 2020
Empowered is my first canvas and it sit right behind my office desk. The painting is a conversation starter and it’s painted on a large 36'“x 48” canvas. The green is well known to pick up '‘Green Screen” virtual backgrounds on Zoom conference calls, a definite eye pleaser.
This painting took close to 3 weeks to complete because I knew what was in my head but depicting it well was my main concern. If you know me, then you know that the slim fitting jeans and Chukka Boots are part of my regular attire. So yes, it’s a mix between my style and a serious elephant pointing at you or another to stay empowered and empower others.
If this painting could be in a song, it would be a mix between “Positive Vibration,” Bob Marley with a Jimi Hendrix mash-up. Empowering lyrics from the song:
Say you just can't live that negative way
If you know what I mean
Make way for the positive day
'Cause it's news (new day) news and days
New time (new time), and if it's a new feelin' (new feelin'), yeah
Said it's a new sign (new sign)
Oh, what a new day
Hope this empowers you to do and be better.
