Kiss Away My Tears

Kiss Away My Tears


framed print (walnut frame with off white matt)

I used a lot of media in this painting…..
chalk pastels, faber castelle black markers, charcoal, aquarelle watercolour crayons wet and dry, acrylics….on Canson canvas textured paper A2 size
it has been tweaked in photoshop to add brightness and contrast, etc.

It’s from a series i’ve been wanting to get a start on for over a year, so this is the first one in the “Mothers and Daughters series”....I’m not sure if i’ll do more or not yet…i hope to….just has to be when the inspiration comes though…. I worked on this til 4am this morning …. oops!

I hope you like it anyway, there is a sombre mood about it I guess, but not necessarily dark or negative….tears are healing, they really are….....

    It sure does make you wander about the tears! I love the bunny and the butterflys!! Do they represent anything? 4am aye…well I guess when inspiration hits you just gotta go for it : )

  • Karin Taylorcommunity helper replied

    i think they just represent new life, and so often, after the tears comes a good feeling of joy…..and able to move on

    Karin, this is my favorite peace as it touches home. My grandaughter was run over by a tractor mower and in the hospital for three months while they put her back together. You would never know now that she was ever hurt. I love the symbolism of the wide eyes searching and loving and hoping at the same time. Wonderful piece.

    Hey Karin!! i love this piece because of the textures.. when i first saw this, the first thing in mind was tears.. and it’s correct! i love this piece.. the tears.. i can feel it’s healing at work in this piece.. the look in their eyes.. there’s no negative/dark feel to this piece at all.. rather, i feel peace and release.. Lovely, Karin.. Lovely! hugs~
