Transitions

Neither Here Nor There...Yet 12" x 12" Pastel on board-Honey Lea Gaydos

This young woman immigrated from Russia to the United States as a  child. At the time of this portrait, she was in that scary, exciting,hopeful, uncertain place of making a decision about what to do with her life. Transitions are full of mixed emotions as seen on her face contrasting with this quiet, contemplative pose. She chose well and is now leading the life she has always wanted.
