Barbara, Lady of the Woods,
Crown of Light

$2,500.00

Icon Statement:
Painted this picture from a solarized photo that i took of my wife, Barbara, in 1969. She was standing deep in the woods with the sunlight streaming in behind her.
 
I chose Barbara as my icon subject because she helped raise four of the most awesome children you could ever hope for, and twelve of those years were in the sub arctic wilds of Alaska in truly pioneer conditions.
 
During the unveiling of the ARTERY panels, I mentioned that the beauty of her image could very well represent "all women" and to do that it has to go beyond the physical. I believe it's represented in her expression of pure joy, spirit, and ultimately representing the divinity in us all.
 
This is the "crown of light" she wears, and I have chosen to represent that with solar lights that collect the sun from the day that lights up the dark.
