This week I was on an art-making tear and painted between classes and when I got home from teaching. Thankfully, sometimes it just flows. Stephanie's theme for this week's Drawing Challenge, Crown, also motivated me to make several versions before choosing this one to share:
"Crown: thorns meet metal," acrylic with silver pen on paper
The crown shape is like an ellipse, a circle, with thorns or jewels. Both are symbolic and pairing them together made sense for content and color contrast. I believe people should try on and live in different crowns from time-to-time... like walking in another person's shoes.
I am looking forward to seeing what the other DC artists created this week.
Thank you, Stephanie, for hosting, too.

Love the colours and the diversity of your crowns. And I totally like the idea of changing perspectives. That would surely lead to a better understanding...
This is a great job!
With very vibrant colors!
There is a crown of thorns, too?
I thought a lot about the jewels and thorns motif for this week as well- it's a very interesting dichotomy- crown of power/crown of martyrdom...
Your crowns are very lively! and remind me of the forest and berries- nature crown :)
the burden and delights of wearing a crown, red and green, i like your representation of it, the thought behind it very true, it would make a difference, x
I like your idea of:
try on and live in different crowns from time-to-time... like walking in another person's shoes
but to me a crown has jewels!

Crowns of many colours, styles, and sizes! I like your idea of wearing someone else's crown to experience what their life is like.
Your concept, like this painting, is powerful, Emily.
I thought about the Crown of Thorns as well, what with Lent coming up right around the corner.
I really like this painting and would love to see it for real - bet you have some great textures going on. -sus
me too, I like it: different crowns from time to time...
your painting is great, the colors and the contrast, so lively.
