"Women in Black" - Fine Art
"Women in Black" was part of the "Recovery Justice - Being Well" art show. It is oil on cotton canvas 36"x24" also available as a giclee on cotton canvas with a 1 1/2" mirrored gallery wrap and as a giclee on archival paper. During the last few years many groups of people have felt marginalized and spoke up - some for the first time. This is about powerful women. I write Ekphrastic poetry to go with my paintings. Here are my thoughts on Women in Black: WOMEN IN BLACK Mystery is Seductive Seduction is Powerful Power is Mysterious All three the same on the inside Sheltering what is within from the tide For women the path is opaque The line indirect The road red hot dangerous Uneven precarious From Suffrage to Me Too 100 years more than 100 tears Still living with fears Rarely a team They all dream Of unity, hoping it is true Feeling the echos of Me Too The Crown they overthrew
