I Used to Wear Red

This is another of my paintings to try to bring the violence that goes on behind closed door, out into the open. We hae to work as a country to stop violence now, call someone, report it, talk to the person being abuse, help them break away. This is watercolor 18" x 24", and hangs in my home to remind me to be aware of the world, and people, around me. One life saved is worth a million dollars. I have a line of art that depicts this violence I am hoping to shock people into acting, and to humiliate those who inflict this especially to children.
