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.
