Here is the last piece of portrait work I finished in 2012. It is 29"x29", oil on linen. Titled "Sobriety", the concept is that we find ourselves surrounded by whatever is holding us back all the time. It encompasses our entire life, sometimes the wall is thick, sometimes it is thin. It is easy to give in, to never want to look the problem in its face. But once you do, you can stand right in the middle of the thick and thin and find your path to personal salvation. I feel this piece can speak to various people dealing with issues. I hope seeing it inspires people to look at themselves and no longer deny whatever it is holding them back.
Sincerely,
Brian Smart
