Degrees of Loneliness - #1, 10" x 10" mixed media by Susan Roden

DEGREES OF LONELINESS - #1

10" x 10" round mixed media on wood

This is the current central piece within the

collection of Degrees of Loneliness, which addresses

the fallacy that all elderly people are depressed and

lonely. The collection reflects landscapes and

skyscapes in various stages of sunsets to indicate

levels of depression. Statistics reveal that the

percentage of depressed are actually very minimal.

#1 reflects an encroachment of sad emotions on

the right side, yet the gold leaf underneath and

which grounds the shrubs, signifies the day is

bright and hopeful.

CIRCLES + A STAR 6" x 6" pastel 10" square archival white matt, glass + black frame $295 + $15 insured priority shipping Monday is roaring up quickly and you know what that means . . . Battle of the Brands with donuts and cupcakes! Slinging going on from the East Coast to the West Coast . . . what a sticky mess! Sure Kelley MacDonald will be slamming me with a jelly donut . . . or two or three stacked oh, so high! But wait . . . also Mary Sheehan Winn has jumped into this ruckus . . . and shown her sportsmanship but tossing little munchkins into the ring last week. What's a gal to do? I say sit back and catch a couple of these tasty morsels flying bye. Yum!
