Title
Too Much
Artist
Darlene Graeser
Medium
Painting - Acrylic On Canvas
Description
"Too Much?" was painted by Darlene Graeser from Unconscious on Canvas in July 2013. This 48x36 canvas depicts a spikey pink-haired lady wearing a very frilly, ruffled, red, rose dress. Much to think about in this.
Darlene Graeser is a clinical psychologist by day, prolific painter by night. The hyperactive Darlene has little need or use for sleep. Darlene spent her nights wandering around the house and pondering her day, until she discovered that she could ponder just as well with paint and canvas. After one of her early paintings was featured on the cover of The American Psychologist, a one-woman show mounted in Santa Barbara sold out on the first night and the large colorful canvases she favors were stacked three deep in her studio, Darlene finally accepted the inevitable hyphen and is now Darlene Graeser, Psychologist-Artist or Artist-Psychologist, depending on the time of day.
For over 32 years she has born witness as people shared their stories in an effort to understand how to put meaning to their suffering. Her flamboyance, humor, empathy, and wisdom have guided many towards transformation. Certainly, her art is a reflection of the lessons that she has learned from these courageous people. Over and over again wings appear in her art - her way of expressing the eternal mystery of life and death. Her newest work is a culmination of many years of working in the field of Death and Dying. Her wonderment is reflected in massive and unusual angels who are privy to a distant view of earth.
Loss, Disappointment, Love, Joy, Shock, Longing, and brazen sexuality are all part of these images from the "other side".
"View life from a distance with honor and a sense of wonderment."

I was looking at this and thinking that the title would be really cool if it had a question mark at the end.....and then I see in the bottom corner, that is how you mean it to be! Wish that could be part of your title on FAA. Anyway, great fun image! When I look like this, I am always wondering if it is too much! ;) fav/v14
