Escape from the Loneliness, 2022
Artist: Whitney Dumer
About the Artwork: It was a dark, depressing evening on a snowy day in February. I was feeling the epitome of loneliness, even though I was surrounded by my beautiful family. That makes that feeling even worse sometimes, so I started painting. I kept painting each and every stroke until the feeling started subsiding; that is why one side of this painting is black, because it represents the start of that lonely. By the end of this painting I could feel myself starting to heal and each color helped my mind to realize that I wasn’t alone; that I was loved.
