sometimes more crucial than the seen one. The idea for this painting came during my strolls by the river in NYC. Through the pandemic, I lived in the city, and I saw much fear. I felt that always despite the fear, there is a force taking care of us and that force felt more significant to me than anything. Because of that presence I felt, I had confidence in life. Purple is the royal color, so I saw it almost like a woman’s spirit hugging the city. This painting was accepted into the “New Dimensions” art show by the National Association of Women Artists.
