Isolation Isle

acrylic on canvas, 24" x 24"

I started this painting in 2020 during the COVID lockdown period.  I kept imagining a little piece of paradise floating in tropical waters.  It was all but finished except that it needed a figure, and I remained undecided forever about it . . . that is, until recently.  Even though isolation can foster a feeling of NOT belonging, I wanted the figure in this scene to have a sense of place, of belonging there, as if isolation is a chosen thing.
