Description
Confidence is a Beautiful Thing (and only 6 weeks old) . This piece was inspired by beach walkers. I am amazed at how confident some people are to show off their bodies. I admire that. It also surprises me at how those who can show off their figure refuse to do so. Our culture is so messed up when it comes to body image, though I am as guilty as the next person when it comes to this topic.
The title starts out being a direct compliment to the heavier woman walking the beach then turns to actually refer to the dog. Confidence is the name of the dog. With this painting, I just wanted to paint moving bodies of different shapes and shadows, nothing malicious or mean. It is a contrast of large and small. The large character has a big hat and a big bag. The smaller one has a tiny scarf and a small bag. The swimsuits probably contain an equal amount of fabric, but it is distributed differently.
