Transformation addresses a mental shift that was prompted by a life altering sting.

Following a two-year abstinence from painting I found myself staring at a masosnite board.   

The board had an upper section prepared with gesso for a painting that was previously intended to be cut.  After painting the flowers, I looked up their symbolic meaning and this painting evolved and evolved me from frozen creativity.

It faces a sting, perhaps at least partially caused by a negative outlook, metaphorically washes windows clear to a transformative state of mind.
