Featured Artwork: This is Not the End

This is Not the End 36"x36" Oil & Gold Leaf on Canvas
I created This is Not the End after I'd been injured and unable to work in my studio. The physical act of standing and painting had become difficult, and so I painted in short bursts as I slowly started to heal. I wasn't sure if I would ever finish it.

One day, I scrawled something across the bottom: "We are all of us living at the edge of the supreme." It was completely spontaneous, and the words aren't really legible in the painting. But they inspired me.

When I finished the painting, it felt like a triumph. It was my comeback painting. And I hope that it inspires someone to triumph over whatever adversity they face in their life.

This is Not the End is painted in oil with gold leaf on canvas. It measures 36" x 36" and is now available at UGallery.com.

I have many other abstract oil paintings on view at UGallery.com, and at my website, cynthialigeros.com. Thanks so much for looking!
