DESTINY BOWMAN SKULL AND ORANGES

9“ x 12” — Oil $800

I loved balancing the delicate structure of the bird skull next to the vibrancy of the orange. One has turned into a beautiful sculpture and the other is ready to feed a life. The painting represents life and death, with the plump fruit and the fragile remnants of the skull.

DESTINY BOWMAN • WAOW Associate • CO • www.destinybowmanfineart.com I create as a therapy, a way to communicate when it is difficult to do with words. I paint the beauty with the macabre side by side. Having my own experience with mental illness, substance abuse and anxiety I know the struggle of pushing through the dark to get to the light. I capture those feelings and paint them as strengths, as dreams, as patience, as goddesses, and life and death.
