More imagination has gone into this piece than the time to create it. Its process started with its title. I wanted to materialise in colour and texture the process of recovering from a setback. I refer here to all forms of a setback, it can relate to health, wealth or unwanted circumstance.
I thought about the cost of recovery, its currency. And decided that, ultimately, that is emotional strain. Of course you will pay in time, perhaps also physical pain. Tough. But above all it is an emotional investment. The willpower to overcome and forsight of the future past the the setback. Recovery attarcts and forces change, the introduction of new and abandonment of old.
I see in this painting newfound willpower against a crisis. Slow but steady. It is happening.
Think about the colours and textures of your recovery.
