As we embrace truth, we experience grace and the chains that bind us — such as
un-forgiveness, anger, hurt, fear, etc. — begin to fall away. The inspiration for this painting came while I was seeking a better understanding of Grace and what it means. Grace = God’s mercy (undeserved favor) toward us.
The symbolic dove embedded in the texture has been released from the chains that had it bound, setting it free to fly.
RELEASED was created to hang vertically or horizontally. The painting consists of heavy relief texture and archival acrylic yellow paint with a gray and white wash. Burnt sienna scumbled on top accentuates the texture.
Painting wraps edges of the gallery wrap canvas and is sealed with a satin archival UV protective varnish.
