Mixed media painting on canvas

2012

From the Jane Austen series, this painting is inspired by the character of Anne in the novel “Persuasion”. As a young girl she was persuaded not to follow her heart, her dream, not to take any risks but instead conform other people's expectations. Years later, she finally finds the strength to fight for her dream and make it come true. As she looks through the window, this dream that seemed inaccessible before starts to bloom under her fingers.
