Hidden Woman
Acrylic on canvas 1m x 1m
2005 (original Sold)
This painting is about women…being one myself…I found the inspiration to paint that feeling of hiding in plain sight. Where it can feel easier to sink into the background…keeping the inner self hidden…..from harm…from risks….from the world.
But ..really…wanting to bring that hidden woman out to the surface..not be afraid.. but just be.
Hidden Woman belongs to the following groups:
Complex Simplicity of Art, Acrylic Painting, Masterpiece: Art and Vibration in Art and Verse - VAVoom! Available for sale asGreeting Cards, Matted Prints, Laminated Prints, Mounted Prints, Canvas Prints, Framed Prints and Posters

it’s amaizing!
David Barnes
Wow. This is great. I’ve mostly limited my comments to photos so far but this is really exceptional and outstanding. You’ve combined the colours of Picasso with the shapes of Munch and the subject matter of Matisse. At least that’s my interpretation … wow :-)
Antanas
excellent…

Hi Lauren and Symmetry!...Thankyou …this one is kinda special to me…I miss it..sometimes it’s hard to let go of a painting after so much time and emotion involved…but you can’t hold onto everything..sometimes you have to learn to share and be content with making someone else happy….which is one of the joys of painting….!

F.A. Moore
Caught you in Vibration in Art and Verse…! This is very beautiful. It takes a good artist to pull off line art like this.
F.A. Moore
...hehee, not to mention (almost forgot) the feeling and the inspiration behind the piece. You’re so right, we hide in plain site, but often under layers: layers of clothes, or skin, or fat, or affectation, or shyness, or blank emotion; when we’re yakity yakity yakity on the inside. WTG!
Care replied
thankyou!!...this took a very long time…but I enjoyed every second of it…: D
it’s so easy to hide in plain sight!...so many of us do it…but it’s much better to free ourselves from this and bring the inside out…without fear…because then we can be at peace with ourselves which in turn helps us to find peace with others : )
frenchblue
stunning work…....i love it….and i know exactly how you feel about being a woman and wanting to hidden to the surface!!
Care replied
thankyou!!...I think there are many who can understand this…I must do one where all is revealed and there is no more hiding needed : )

Stunning, like a blue mood take-off on abstract expressionism. To me it’s a fine balance between the literal and the abstract, a fine line indeed.
Care replied
