"Upwards Through the Brambles" Painting

April 20, 2012 — original post

Do you ever feel like you often struggle through obstacles, only to be met by more of them?

When I sat down to make this painting, I was definitely feeling the suffering of many ordeals. Sometimes is seems like as soon as you make it past one hard challenge, another comes your way to test you some more. Well, I feel that if you stay strong, passionate and work hard towards making yourself and your life better, you can climb upwards through all those thorn bushes that block your way, towards the light of a better reality.
