Title of work: Hazel, the brave: The ‘art of the matter.
Date: January 2011
Media: Acrylic on canvas
Hazel, the brave: The ‘art of the matter is a representation of the “hunter and hunted” suggesting at once both power and vulnerability. To be seen in the light of the truth requires the softness of vulnerability and the strength of courage. Hazel Dooney, Brave warrior, offers herself up for public consumption; heart and soul. Rather than “suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune”. Dooneys' quiver contains paint brushes. Her weapons of choice, masterfully wielded for good instead of evil with skill and precision, she finds her target. You’ll notice she’s wearing feathers and has claimed a scalp or two. The background colour is not quite Dooney pink; however, I picked up this colour at Wal-Mart last time I was in the states. It’s an acrylic by apple barrel called “diva pink” if you can believe it.
