Hand in water painting

Inspired by Virginia Woolf's words in the title, this painting is a contemplation on compassion. Image is of a hand delicately touching water. A painterly reflection of the hand is portrayed in the water's ripples.

Using water and hands as metaphor, this painting symbolizes hope for humanity. Anyone can do a simple act of sharing and make a positive impact on the world. Although the sea of need may seem endless, with faith and love one can make a difference. This 18x24" painting was created for the Water for Life International Art Exhibition at the Mayan Museum in Cancun, Mexico, March-April 2022.

Another one with reflections and water, I was inspired by some of Linnea Strid's paintings on flickr. Arantxa helped me take the photo with her camera, they are her hands. Check out my blog for a description of the creative process: larcey.blogspot.com/
