“I Hope it Lasts” is tiny painting 4X6”, mixed medium on board. I created this piece by coating the board with oil paint, letting it dry and then sanding the surface and the edges to create irregularity and texture in the background. Using colored pencil crayons, I then pulled text from my journals and wrote across the board. The floral forms in the foreground were cut from a larger oil painting on canvas. I was about to throw away an old painting, but liked a few of the forms on the lower corner, so I cut them out from the painting and glued them to the smaller piece. The title of the piece refers to the contentment I was feeling after a long blue period and within the painting the words I feel happy, “I Hope It Lasts”.
