Looking Forward, oil on canvas, 2006

The young women, girls of Afghanistan and the Middle East in general get my strongest support and empathy.  I liked this one for the range of composures, from the first girl on left demurely unconfidently peering downward and the color palette behind her is dark and gloomy, then the painting moves to middle girl, a bit more confident, head is up, skies are clearing, and finally the third girl looks the observer directly in the eye, skies have cleared, the future is bright.
