"Beautifully Broken", Original Mixed Media Painting by Colorado Artist, Donna L. Martin

Beautifully Broken

21.5 X 10.5 (at highest point in the middle)

Original art

Mixed Media/Assemblage on cradle boards

In our journeys, there are usually broken pieces. People we’ve loved and lost, friends who have been in our lives for a season, families torn apart. These are our stories. These are the layers of our lives. These broken pieces make us who we are, who we become. What we do with those broken pieces is up to us. We have the choice to create new stories, to try again. Our wings may be tattered and worn, but they are ours and they can still fly. We are all beautifully broken. The doorknob in this piece represents old doors closing and new ones opening. The background was created using pieces of a vintage world atlas, representing the layers of our lives and our journeys. The wings were bathed in resin to finish this piece.

This piece is sold, but commissions are welcome. Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments!

I always felt that when I finally was able to say something, was anyone really listening? To add to this, I grew up feeling like I really didn't fit in anywhere, that I was usually the odd one out. I was the one who got picked last for the team, didn't stand up for myself...I didn't know how, didn't have " permission ". I couldn't really find my place, or my voice. I attended Columbine High School for one semester before we moved to a wonderful little small Texas town. When I first got there, the kids in ...

This was a really fun painting to do and has been one of my most popular to date! Mama and baby taking a stroll together on a sunny morning. This original watercolor was completed on a lazy Sunday afternoon after a couple of glasses of wine. Hence, the vibrant colors and textures!
