Nancy L Smith "Balance Within My Soul" 3-1-13

"Balance Within My Soul"
Nancy L. Smith
Acrylic on Gesso Board, 18" x 24"
$370, Original

           Seldom am I at a loss for words when viewing a painting, but this one by Nancy Smith, puts me in a wordless place, viewing the crow and reflection and seeing the balance and possibly why Nancy named this piece as she did.  I wonder if she had in mind a balancing of her soul before she painted or if the images evoked this on their own.  I wonder this even before I notice that the reflection is "right" side up while the crow is "upside" down.   ???    Fascinating!  I'd like to see this in my bathroom next to the mirror where I apply makeup and comb my hair.  I'd have a perplexed look on my face every day -- as if I don't already.          ~ Mariah Wheeler
