Built to Endure

Built to Endure by Taylor McLendon. Acrylic on canvas. The Tin Man on hands and knees on a road of gold against violet, gold tears falling from his eyes.

On a road of gold, the Tin Man has fallen to his hands and knees. Violet surrounds him, while gold tears trace his face. Even here, at his lowest point, the road continues beneath him.

Built to Endure holds space for the moments when endurance looks less like standing tall and more like finding the strength to keep going from the ground. The gold tears make pain visible, transforming it into something that can be carried forward.

Size: 36 × 48 in. Price: $2,592
