"I Am Enough"
by Cheryl Harris White
Acrylic on Canvas
48" x 36"
I was preparing this canvas for a large forest painting. You can see where I was going to put the sky and the darkest colors below which would be the forest floor. I got this far and left it to dry before adding the trees.... I kept putting off adding the trees to this one and kept just looking at it for a few days. Somehow, I just couldn't bring myself to paint more on it. It felt like the colors were crying out saying, "I am enough... I am enough." I wrestled with adding more to the painting for a another day and then I decided to listen. I left it this way and hung it up in my living room. I'm so glad I listened to the colors.... I think they were right... They really are enough.
