Full Of Beauty




Painting is called Full of Beauty.

Hi everyone,

Here, is my latest painting. It is a very personal painting, because it is painting of myself. I am calling this work "Full Of Beauty".

I saw an image in my mind of total freedom in being me. I have always been so self cautious of my weight gain over the years. A weight gain caused by emotional trauma and physical health issues.

I feel God has slowly been showing me that no matter the size of the woman they can be seen as beautiful.

This painting will be one of emotional growth in seeing the beautiful lady that God created. I also hope that it will be an expression of shedding many layers of emotional baggage and show casing that I am a survivor!

I am showing myself walking into the ocean and dropping a towel, allowing it to slide slowly down into the sea..a symbol of the baggage being shed that i have carried through out the years.

The reason I chose a sunrise for the sky is because it is a representation of a fresh start, and new beginnings.

This is the first time i have painted the human form, and i acutally chose to paint myself. Go figure.... lol

I like to let God guide me when i paint, and this was the time to paint this.

As always i love feedback on my works. It helps me to grow not only in my work but spiritually.

I hope you all enjoy.

Tracy, you know i am not an artist but i feel happy ang blessed when i look at sea pictures and waves. most of your paintings make me fel at ease ant i believe that this is art. isn't it? I also believe that friends can make themselves happy by sharing thoughts and letting themselves take the job of (SEA). I mean to talk ur worries and thoughts to the sea. Just an idea.

Tracy,

I love your painting. One day I went to the ocean and was standing in that exact position listening to a song called, "Oh how he loves us". Your picture captures that moment; :)

Tracy, one sees oneself if in complete purity and honesty. Being otherwise prevents such a blessing.One's surrounding might add to this. the wise are those who can see their inner beauty. Hisham
