Perseverance Through the Fire
Upwards Through The Brambles. 20" x 24", © 2011 Tiffany Davis-Rustam.
Do you ever feel like you often struggle through obstacles, only to be met by more of them?
When I sat down to make this painting, I was definitely feeling the suffering of many ordeals. Sometimes is seems like as soon as you make it past one hard challenge, another comes your way to test you some more. Well, I feel that if you stay strong, passionate and work hard towards making yourself and your life better, you can climb upwards through all those thornbushes that block your way, towards the light of a better reality.

Wow, T, you have a tremondos soul expressing here. I am very impressed. I too am an “artist” although I don’t sell or post much of my work. I am not practical… anyway one can feel the conflicts expressed in the painting I would love to take the time to learn more about you because I vaule your artistic expression. I love the way you worked with bold color combination and shapes. The complexiy of living is shown by the various nooks and crannies, one wants to explore it deeper. Look into the different terrain presented… I appreciate your work .
Thank you,

Hi Elizabeth,
Thanks so much for your enthusiastic response! It’s wonderful you can appreciate and understand the depth of my subject matter and the complexities of the paint.
I feel passionately about expressing the deeper nature of the soul, and I love to use bright vivid colors to convey this passion.
