Description
Turning, 2001, oil on canvas, 48 x 48 inchesThis is one of my most popular images. In 2001 I began to study the Chinese classic Book of Changes, curious about how things arise and in time fade away. I am always struck by the transitory nature of all things. Nothing ever dies or disappears: it changes from one state to another. Turning is about these changes. My model looks back on the path she has traveled in a sudden movement, arrested in a moment of time, lit by the last rays of the fading light.

I've been thinking that the paintings on DA are highly under-rated, and I knew if I searched I would find some real diamonds; Then I stumbled across your work.

Everything that everyone else has said is true. But the thing that truly captures what you wanted to say is the expression on her face. There are so many emotions that are tied up in it. Longing to go back, or reminiscing about the past, determination to move forward.
Beautiful

This paiting has an amazing plasticity to it-specially in the movement of the hair and the folds (I even thought it was digital in the miniature). I really like the concept behind this beautiful girl , the movement and the light transition are well reflected on the picture. Did you use any reference for the girl?
