"Repressed Memories" ©Mary Montague Sikes |
The letter "R" was especially difficult for Farrah and me. I went through many different words while deciding what would work best for today's painting. I considered and discarded restoration, resolution, realistic, and many other possibilities. Eventually, I settled on "repressed memories" which is a theme difficult to convey in a painting. The darkest part of the story of Farrah Ferand, the heroine of
Evening of the Dragonfly, is her journey to deal with repressed memories. Therefore, this is the darkest painting thus far in the series created for her one-person exhibition.
"Repressed Memories" features Robert Doak intense watercolors on canvas. It is 16 x 20 inches.

I think you captured repressed memories well.
The colors are beautiful. It reminds me of a dream.
incredible.

The different shapes, floating in space, not quite figuring how they all fit together. It almost feels like time stood still and yet it has a sense of fear..I know this well and you captured it

Alex, thanks. I tried.
Thank you, Diane. The watercolors are more dreamlike; the acrylics are not.
Thank you for visiting, Lucinda.
