The Wrong to Choose

This is a mixed media piece done on a canvas board. The three materials I used for this painting was acrylic paint, seed beads, and high gloss gel medium. The political and emotional statement I tried to make with this piece was the sorrow associated with abortion. I am a very pro life individual, and I believe that every life is sacred. In this piece I painted an eye, which i painted over with gloss to make it shiny. the eye is crying a tear, and in the tear is an unborn baby. I tried to make it very symbolic, and if you saw the picture you would definitely get the message. Throughout the rest of the piece I used very wet paint to make streaks across the painting. I also used a primarily blue color palate. The whole piece has a very prominent feeling of sadness. This represents the sorrow that a mother who has had an abortion might feel. It also represents the sorrow of the people trying to fight the legal "right" of having an abortion. I hope that people who see this picture will immediately get the message i am trying to send.
