Let It Be – Original Abstract Mixed-Media Painting on Canvas by Erin McGrath Rieke
About This Artwork
I created Let It Be in 2011 using layers of oil and acrylic. Its restrained palette of black, cream, and white gives the painting a quiet simplicity from a distance. Up close, smooth passages meet cracks and broken patterns, exposing the tension beneath that calm surface.
The contrast reflects the impulse to shape and control what happens, even when parts of life remain beyond our reach. The fractures do not undo the painting’s balance; they are part of it. They suggest that acceptance can begin when we stop asking the surface to appear seamless.
Let It Be is a meditation on surrender, resilience, and the possibility of allowing things to unfold without forcing them into a perfect form.
