Tears For Minnie by Lynne Bertalli

<< Previous Item

Features

ARTIST NOTES: Tears for Minnie reflects the incredible sadness and grief of losing my sweet black girl I had for 18 years. The work confronts the necessity of dealing with death and the loss of loved ones whether it is human or animal. The work is based on stylised figurative images. The layers of earth and stones determine the final separation between myself and my girl in her final resting place in our garden. I use various techniques of dry brush, washes & thick layers of paint to create my work. Medium Acrylic Paint on canvas stretched onto a wood frame and ready to hang with D rings and wire. Signed on the front.
