| Drowning in Sorrow |
18 x 24 Oil on canvas
Simply stated, "Drowning in Sorrow" is my vision
of an emotional loss.
For me, that concept spans sixty-plus years of life and is a
reoccurring experience that I dread. Yet, it is a part of life that all of us must deal
with in our years on this earth. It is a vision of the overwhelming plunge into
dark sadness that we feel when an emotional shock rocks us with loss. It could be a
break-up with a lover, a sad goodbye, the loss of a pet, a forced move from a
place loved, an illness, a divorce, yet mostly, from the death of someone
you love.
FYI: You may wonder why I use women in paintings that have emotional themes. The simple answer is, a women's beauty emotionally motivates me best. Many of my themes are universal, (this one is Sorrow,) so either way, a man or a woman can relate. In my realm, women reflect life's beauty, so as an artist, I pursue that beauty in my vision.
(I am still working on this painting, so you see it in its unfinished state.)
