Canvas print is stretch mounted on wooden frame, wired, and ready to hang.  No framing necessary, just unbox and hang.   
 
At first glance, this piece feels calm-sweeping pastels, soft transitions, subtle emotion.  But beneath the surface lies a much deeper story.  
 
Originally painted in bold, vibrant oils, the canvas became a symbol of control-a mask I wore while enduring relentless bullying.  I tried to paint beauty, but it began to feel like her.  The aggressor.  The pain. 
 
One day, I snapped.  I picked up white paint and, with angry, sweeping strokes, covered most of everything.  I felt like I was erasing her-and I liked it.  
 
What emerged surprised me: not chaos, but calm.   The neutrals became soothing.  Honest.  Mine.  You can still see traces of the original-bold colors peeking through like memories, refusing to be fully buried.  But now, the painting tells my story.

Inspiration: She hides behind a facade of winning.  I see the misery beneath.
