"Life for Rent"
my submission to Illustration Friday, this weeks theme: "Clearly"
Clearly, she doesn't realize yet, her life is really not her own.
I can be quite cynical when it comes to love, not the first time I've expressed that very thing on this site. I just feel that we as women need to retain our sense of self. There may not be anything more important. Yes, of course, that doesn't mean that your life is all about you, if your like me, it probably hasn't been for a long time. Yes, we have responsibilities in our children and our relationships... but... We need to remain individuals with power and personality. What better message can we send our daughters and sons...
I created this piece on 5x5 inch clayboard. I used copies of vintage photos, a gel medium transfer technique, vintage book pages, and acrylic paint. I scratched out the brick and them painted each one individually, I think they turned out well.
Thanks for looking

Wow this is great! It looks like a lot of work! You're right, the bricks look wonderful. I totally agree that being women we tend to get swamped by all the 'others' in our lives... Its not at all cynical to point it out; so many interesting women seem to loose themselves in their relationships and end up as an 'appendage' to someone else.. This is really a great way to illustrate this week's topic. Great job, keep it up!
This is really nice.
