'The Key to Me'

by Paula Peacock

16" x 20"

Oil on Linen

The inner pear represents an attempt to discard the outer leathery cloak of constant depression which serves as a hardened armor and a disguise to fool, not only myself, but others as well. She tries to emerge completely out, to be what she once was, but continues holding onto her protective tough skin not quite ready to bravely step out and be happy without feeling guilt.

Sometimes I think life would be better if I could just meet the person who took my sons' life. If I could just scream at him, call him names, hit him, kick him let him know that what he has done has caused lifelong damage to many people. To see him suffer, would that make me better or feel worse? Would I feel guilty? Would I stop being angry at the world? Do I even want to stop being angry?

I don't even know his name.

More of this true story will be posted.

The "inner pear" shows an attempt to discard the dark cloak of constant depression (the outer layer) which serves as an armor and a disguise to fool, not only others, but myself as well. The inner pear tries to emerge completely out, to be what she once was, but continues holding on to her protective tough skin not quite ready to bravely step out and be happy without feeling guilt.

Contemporary Abstract Landscape Painting "ALICE'S KEY" by Contemporary Realism Artist Carol A. McIntyre

Puzzle pieces make me smile, how about you?

Deep into my "Window Within a Window" series of paintings, I imagined that a missing puzzle piece could easily be conveyed as a window. Then opening up a piece as if it were a door added more intrigue. What memories or feelings come up when you look at this whimsical painting? What could be behind the door? What is beyond the open window?

Tapping your imagination and your curiosity is one of my objectives. 

Did I achieve that in "Alice's Key?"

This painting is gallery wrapped, which means it does not need to be framed and is ready to hang.

30"x40"x1.5" Oil on Canvas/SOLD
