"Liberty has not Forgotten" Watercolor Painting by April Galamin
"Liberty has not Forgotten" Watercolor Painting by April Galamin
I completed this watercolor in the fall of 2006. It was the first watercolor painting I had completed in....my guess, probably 5- years - give or take. Yeah, I was so busy with the kids, they were little back then, I just didn't make the time to paint. Though I was creative in other ways during those years.
When this opportunity came, I took it!

That's me holding the finished Lady Liberty. I was happy with how she turned out.
I did not strive for realism, but I wanted a lightness to the painting to reflect the hope
of those who leave their homelands to begin a new life here.
Below is a detail of the hand.
I decided I wanted to add details in the background of immigrants, coming in waves as it were.
