My husband laughs at me when I use the word "angst" because he says it's not a real word. Well, I say it is. To me, it means anxious anger. All of us that live in this big world have struggles and challenges that we deal with on a daily basis. Everybody copes in their own way. I paint. This oceanside scene is of no place in particular. It is from my imagination. That's how these landscapes go for me: 100% intuitive. Picasso said painting is another way of keeping a diary. Today's entry should read: "Life can be really hard, but I am stronger than my !#@ trials!!!!" This painting is on panel and is cradled with the sides painted bone black in an eggshell finish. There is hanging wire installed on the back.
