{"product_id":"the-scab-original-oil-painting","title":"The Scab - Original Oil Painting","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe skin is a dynamic terrain, which changes as it responds to healing and inflammation. It can appear like a rugged terrain and tilled farm fields, or canyons with vast edges. When swelled, like an ocean of rising sand. Beyond the surface is a nod to blood vessels and arteries, with the texture of the piece being a specific nod to the broken skin in Topical Steroid Withdrawal. \"The Scab\" acknowledges that healing requires a journey of various terrain experiences, knowing that today's challenges will be as different tomorrow as the weather. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e-- Further Backstory -- \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis abstract collection was born after enduring six years of topical steroid addiction and withdrawal syndrome, which was so severe that it prevented me from painting that entire time. \u003cspan\u003eWhen I sat down to create for the first time, I wanted to paint impressionist landscapes, and other light hearted subjects like horses, which had always captured my attention. Instead, I was hit with with \"what could have been\" and \"what should have been\" both as an artist, and personally. Where would I be if I had those six years to hone my skills? \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis series began the abstract section in my portfolio, and the choice of pigments was intentional. Working with the raw nature of the canvas as the white source, I used a medium and one or two pigments throughout this collection while creating a texture which commemorated the broken, fissured skin I experienced in this season. Grief was unexpected. Yet, as the emotions swelled, I would take a word or phrase and meditate on it while painting. This became the title for each work in the abstract collection.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eImportant Note: If purchased, the painting will be available at the CCA Gallery location. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e111 W Main St #135, Carmel, IN 46032\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eShipping is available within the continental U.S. for an additional fee.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e16\"x16\"x1.5\"\u003cbr\u003eOil \u0026amp; Graphite on Canvas\u003cbr\u003e2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003ePurchase includes original artwork only for personal use, all rights and reproduction opportunities remain with the artist.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jessica Morrison Fine Art \u0026 Design Art Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48370191433943,"sku":null,"price":512.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0702\/4171\/4391\/files\/canvas-_in_-18x18-front-69b3a3046b81a.jpg?v=1773380441","url":"https:\/\/www.indyluxuryart.com\/products\/the-scab-original-oil-painting","provider":"Jessica Morrison Fine Art \u0026 Design Art Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
