There is a Quote by R.Z. "You carry so much love in your heart, why not give some to yourself" I had it in my head when I painted this. The painting can mean to you whatever you feel but for me, this woman is a wife, and a mother, she is friend, she is a people pleaser, and she never stops. She is tired, and a little broken, but she keeps going. She keeps seeing the beauty in cooking for her family and keeping up with house. Her day is worked around everyone else's schedules and meals, she loves them so much she doesn't care that her life is worked around them, but when she looks in the mirror she can't see all beauty in herself, all she sees it how tired she is, how broken, that she over cooked the muffins at breakfast this morning, all of her faults. But she is beautiful, not in-spite of but because her faults, her scars, her life she has lived. This is a layered multi media piece. 48 in by 46 in (almost 4 foot by 4 foot) ply wood, I plastered over, and then I embossed a lotus flower and a butterfly onto it with glue, then I painted the whole thing, and then I drew the woman on it with oil pastels.
