ENLIGHTENMENT (2006)
Oil on Panel - 36” x 24”

In the Portals paintings, enlightenment is found only when one gets beyond the architecture of established formal belief systems. 1/2

As seen through pointed arches of an old abbey in ruins, a woman stands high on a crumbling wall, resting her hand on the rough stonework as she stares off-panel lit by the light of dawn. Frothy white, tide washes in surrounding the base of pillars. An ornate metal staff is stuck in the sand. The top ends in blue glass in a sun-shaped setting.
