Cheers

I gave this painting the name Cheers. I created this artwork specifically for the cover of my book Cheers, breaking the silence…one voice at a time. A book I wrote in 2011. To me this is a very important book and thus a very important painting. It shows a female figure holding a male figure. He looks lost in a surreal landscape and the female has vague angel wings to express her devotion to helping the male. I wanted to express hope with this painting. The book Cheers tells the stories of over 40 people, throughout Europe who have experienced negative effects of alcohol abuse of a loved one. (I myself have had that experience and I wanted to find out what that meant for others). The book was translated into Dutch, German and Spanish as well and is for sale on Amazon.
