exploring some art...."Shadow"

I haven’t posted anything about art recently and thought I was due to discuss a favorite painting or To allow my viewers to discuss one of my favorite paintings…This is one that I actually own. To be honest it is one that I painted. It is also listed for sale on Artquest. For those of you that know me, and the story behind this particular piece, this was a horribly tough choice to make, in selling. I had to let go of some serious stuff in order to let it go, it is a small piece (16x20) and is done in acrylics and chalk. It depicts an empty chair in an unfinished room with an unseen window and barely visible drapery that is easily mistaken for a ghost, a mist or some have told me an aura of piece, in white.
The piece was painted in 1999 and the rose was placed on the chair in 2006. The painting sat incomplete for almost seven years as the artist anguished over the sentiment and content of the work.
The piece’s focal point was the chair but has become the rose upon completion and it represents an unfinished room, an unfinished love and total depravity. The piece has a name, but due to the personal nature of the work I will not list the name until it sells and will only entrust the paintings name to the buyer.
The piece will only be known in public as “Shadow” of course the buyer has the right to publish or use the original name.
There is great emotion in all art and this particular piece is the most important piece I have ever created. It embodies the single event that literally shattered my soul and stands as a reminder of that moment. As much as I love this work, it is time to let it go and remove it from my home.
As with all my work for sale, this painting comes with the request that I get first opportunity to buy if the owner wishes to sell.
I hope you all enjoy this work and let me know if you can guess the name and if you have any questions about it. If you are intersted in purchasing this piece let me know, the price is negotiable and I am asking $430.00
Love ROB!!!
