The Wound

Written By Michael Powers

Oil on gessoed board

Things change in unexpected ways in people’s lives. The person you thought you knew is suddenly not the person you are. This painting portends my need to change. It is only an advance in pallet, content, and composition for now; but I sense a reach, as I reflect on my long career and the feeling that I am facing yet another precipice. Am I being pushed or did I leap?
