Redeemed

"Redeemed"
Oil Painting By McKenzie Clarke

This started as a quick practice with oils to capture a human form quickly, but as I got more into it the painting started to show a message. Her expression is humble and willing to receive. She is willing to change. The contrast between the lights and the darks present the battle and relief getting out of a struggle. The pieces of red are placed to symbolize the atonement taking place in her life. 
 This piece was definitely a wonderful experience to experiment. The abstract texture was very different, but very fun to see how the brush strokes effect the texture and color.
