Brave Girl
2007 - 22x28 in - Acrylic Paint
Many people look at this picture and laugh because it reminds them of someone after a night of drinking. Not so. This is a portrait of Joan of Arc, who inspired my confirmation name. St. Joan is dressed as a French soldier. She represents the times I feel like crying, that my heart is in my throat, but I am brave and carry on. The eyes have several meanings: I'm not perfect yet, I'm not sure which direction to go next, or one eye is here on earth, the other looking heaven-ward.
