Well, the talk is over and done with. I had prepared a short paragraph describing what my art is all about but was, instead, asked to talk about my interpretation of the show's theme. My painting, "Repose" (see image in my previous post) is about seeking balance in one's life. We nourish our bodies with food and drink, but we also need relaxation and some quiet time to re-energize our mind and bodies.
Someone asked if "Repose" was a self-portrait, perhaps, because of the subject's Asian features, but it wasn't really. I did not have a model for the painting so I created the image of a woman trying to achieve a moment of tranquility in her busy life.

Food for the Body, Food for the Soul
I am one of 30 artists participating in the exhibition “Food for the
Body, Food for the Soul” at the Watergate Gallery and Frame Design, from
January 31 – March 31, 2015. The painting below, “Repose”, is my
interpretation of what fuels the body and soul.
