Menopausal Woman Painting

The menopause is a really interesting time for a woman's body, and my art is naturally reflecting this change that's started occurring in me now. The closest thing I can describe to the feeling of a hot flush, is the experience of suddenly waking up in a hot tent at a festival, with the midday sun blazing down. As with a hot flush, you just want to rip open the zipper and let some air in - as fast as possible! The heat starts in the chest, and quickly rises into the face. Then you get cold, and have to put all your clothes back on. That’s why I painted the cool blue, next to the hot red and orange scribbles on her face. I celebrate the female body for all its life-giving capabilities. It's an adorable vessel to inhabit. I love and value everything about my femininity, and what being a woman is all about - instead of the Disneyfied, airbrushed, and carefully-poised version that we're usually swamped with. I felt the urge to paint this subject big and bold, because there's nothing timid about going through the menopause - it can't be ignored. It’s in my face, so I’ve painted it big enough to be in your face too. I’m excited and confident about this change. The painting hangs from two stripped walnut branches.
