Patricia Williams The Only Way Out is Onward Watercolor 10 x 18 $500
"The Only Way Out Is Onward was inspired by the experience of driving through the Merrimac Monitor Bridge Tunnel, which crosses the James River in Suffolk, Virginia. I love the way the lights from the cars and the tunnel illumination make me feel like I am on the verge of the jump to hyperspace, and I especially love the way you can see the light pouring in at the end of the tunnel when you begin the ascent. You are still in darkness, you still feel the burden of the water above you, but you know that the darkness will soon be past. This piece was originally painted as a vertical with the brown at the top giving a sense of the weight above. However, and this is really the point of critique, numerous colleagues preferred it as a horizontal. So why not? I like it better that way myself."
