The painting "Drifting Right" is a part of a 7 painting series entitled "Chinoiserie Swimmers".  This figure swims gently to the right and creates a soothing visual awareness. The painting is about viewing the figure as a vessel.  Each figure has a unique design that represents each individual person and their experiences in life.   In some cultures, if the vessel is cracked, or is imperfect, it is mended with silver or gold leaf glue to celebrate these imperfections as a part of the character building and depth of the person's unique circumstances.  The silver leaf thread in the Chinoiserie paintings "mends" these cracks in the swimming figures.  The chinoiserie series honors each person's traumas and triumphs that build the stories that create each person's life experience. Drifting Right is a 20" x 20" x 1.5" acrylic mixed media painting on silver leaf paint with embroidery thread.  It is ready to display in any setting and will be a dreamy addition to the energy in the space.
