about this piece

This painting is an homage to artist James Christensen's wife, Carole. He began to contemplate all her roles in life and the many weighty responsibilities she shouldered as a full-time wife and mother of five young children. Women everywhere relate to the need to confidently soar above life's troubles and challenges. In a given day she may shuttle the children, prepare a gourmet feast, keep to hectic time schedules and more, but she always keeps her head up and carries the light of hope to those around her. A delightful gift to honor a wife, mother, grandmother, sister or any heroic woman in your life.

What she represents is 'woman as spiritual leader.' She has a candle, which is my way of showing that she is carrying the torch, or leading the way. You notice that she has spare candles. Candles are symbols of light and wisdom. She also has a many-handed clock, and there is a compass to help her figure out which way to go. But beyond the individual items she carries, this is more an homage to the modern woman rather than a dictate of what a Responsible Woman should be. You can be the person you want to be, and the things you carry can mean what you want them to mean.
