"Faith is the strength by which a shattered world shall emerge into the light." - Helen Keller This painting represents leaving something that is not working behind, and following your heart to something better.
The photos in this painting are a broken bridge and a crumbling building, the bright yellows give the painting a feeling of hope. Painted with many layers of acrylic, charcoal pencil, ink stick, and copies of my b&w photos.
