I took my Power in my Hand

Kerry works from created and found photographs and film stills. In this image she was particularly taken with the way that the model looks suspended in time, as if pausing, and extraordinarily holding a bubble that is slowly diminishing by releasing smaller bubbles through the water. It lead Kerry to think of Emily Dickinson's poem “I took my Power in my hand” - a poem about taking on both David and Goliath, but failing. It reminded her that at times in life we give something everything we’ve got but sometimes it’s just not enough. Despite this, we go on, we live another day safe in the knowledge we did our best. Regathering and restrengthening . Kerry wanted to capture both her strength and her vulnerability using bright contrasting colours of teal and a beautiful red magenta. Kerry has developed her style using contemporary art techniques such as expressionism and pop art. She loves to give the surface of the painting lots of texture and shine, creating a sense of movement. 
In this painting Kerry has used professional quality artist acrylics and mediums. The board has been mounted on an frame and then painted as the frame and board as one unit. The painting is fitted with a wire and two D rings and is ready to hang. 

Kerry hopes you enjoy her painting - a little reminder to stay resilient despite what curve balls we face and strike out on.

Here is Emily Dickinsons poem... I took my Power in my Hand

I took my Power in my Hand— 
And went against the World— 
’Twas not so much as David—had— 
But I—was twice as bold—

I aimed by Pebble—but Myself 
Was all the one that fell— 
Was it Goliath—was too large— 
Or was myself—too small?

Professionally mounted, signed on the back, ready to hang and enjoy!
