Evening on the Yangtze, Acrylic on cancas, 48″ wide x 36″ high

“Scène captée lors de la croisière des trois gorges sur le Yangtze en Chine. La seule percée de soleil en une semaine.” René

Sometimes through the darkness can come light. Light which can influence the creative process and render in three dimensions the emotions within.

“Yes. I thought of all my LGBTQ friends. I was put in front of a big tub of tiles. I picked colors to represent all the special people I know who are LGBTQ and the ones I don’t. I thought of how I understand oppression of my gay brother I lost. Of color that makes me happy and keeps me going and I made a tile representing all this. Took me 2 weeks. The black tiles represent the darkness where I had no hope and the red blood and pain I suffered but together we are all United. I love people. Amy Beth Allan”
