Affirmations #5: Love
Affirmations #5: Love
8” x 8”
Original acrylic, mixed media painting (on mixed media paper) in a 12” x 12” mat with a protective sleeve.
Affirmations #5: Love was the fifth of the series of Affirmations to be completed. They began as a group of 12, taped to the wall as one unit. Because of the original placement of the ink lines and drips on this one, it was much more of a challenge to develop than the first four. So, for much of the time I was focused on toning down those lines, especially the one right down the middle. I worked with what I had and played and played with marks, color, and circles to get what you see here now.
The word, Love and a love themed quote were written on the image early on. As you can see, they have disappeared under paint and colored pencils. I kept the concept of Love in mind while working on this one. These are the words that lie beneath the paint…
The quote: “Let us always meet each other with a smile, for the smile is the beginning of love.” ― Mother Theresa
Affirmations #5: Love is signed and dated on the back.
