"...And Then She Wept", Contemporary Still-Life Oil Paintings by Paula peacock

..."And Then She Wept"
by Paula Peacock
18" x 24"
Oil on Eucalyptus on Birch

I did this painting after being contacted by a non-profit who wanted an image for their website representing the fight against domestic abuse against women and children. "..And Then She Wept" brings awareness to women being abused physically, emotionally, sexually, mentally with the violence spreading to the children. She is trapped in a relationship knowing that it hurts to stay in & would hurt to get out of. She is broken in mind, body, & spirit & has grown too weak to protect her children.
The painting was on their website for many years. If you know of someone in such a relationship don't stand idly by. Contact the authorities and put the situation on their radar.

So, I decided to save Pandora the humiliation and let her take a rest from this rendition by painting only the 'box'. All the other elements fell into place after I found the perfect vessel. The apple is representative of Eve, another woman blamed for the woes of the world. But, that will be another story in another painting. Here's a bit of what I call 'useless information that stuck in my brain for no apparent reason'. It really was NOT a box but a bowl. I guess t

               The Awakening by Paula Peacock 24" x 30" Oil on Canvas Rebirth, spiritual awakening. In a sea of the unknown, of what lays beyond, and of what lays beneath a woman is reborn, emerging from the lotus flower to a deeper understanding of spirit, of unconditional love, to experience a deep connection with All That Is. She has released the fear of death and stands her truth. She knows the meaning and purpose of her life, understands the suffering of humanity, she has an awareness, the ability to stay balanced and centered amid the storms of life. She is Love, Gratitude, Light, Compassion, Healer, Teacher, and sees the Divine in every single one of us. The Past does not exist. Tear catchers have been set asea.
