WORDS
Many quotes by inspiring, wise women went into this painting. The following quotes were in the different layers;
- Vulnerability is not knowing victory or defeat, it's understanding the necessity of both; it's engaging. It's being all in. - Brené Brown.
- The most difficult thing is the decision to act, the rest is merely tenacity. - Amelia Earhart
- When we speak we are afraid our words will not be heard or welcomed. But when we are silent, we are still afraid. So it is better to speak. - Audre Lorde
- The way we talk to our children becomes their inner voice - Peggy O'Mara
- If you don't risk anything, you risk even more. - Erica Young
- Nothing changes without you. - Danielle LaPorte
- What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make. - Jane Goodall
- I learned a long time ago that there is something worse than missing the goal, and that's not pulling the trigger. - Mia Hamm
In the final layer the words courage, optimism, ardency, tenacity are repeated hundreds of times.
Where the words cross horizontally and vertically it almost gives the impression of woven fibres in fabric. |
IMAGES
Lots of circles, my favourite shape, made it into the painting. The univeral female symbol was added in the final layer.
THEMES
Courage in the face of fear, optimism instead of cynicism, ardency instead of indifference and tenacity instead of half-heartedness.
A pre-requisite for courage is vulnerability.
