Haiku April 16, 2013 Hope

Hope is the thing with

Feathers. Did Emily know

How we would need this?

Art Prescription:  I’m working through my grief and helplessness over the recent tragedies. Though I try to be positive here on the Art Prescription, I also want to be genuine. My work today is an expression of this…be well…My chop, hand-made in China, says “Hope.”

  1. Very well done. Tears yes, but also calm after the storm. Sadly Serene.
    In the swirls, especially in the lower left, I can make out faces. One is smiling broadly, the others look surprised or shocked. Also directly across from the center, on the left, the swirl looks like a mother holding a child. Ok, so maybe I am weird, but these images jumped out at me.

    • Not weird at all Sheila. The unconscious is powerful. It’s not unusual for figures to appear in my paintings for me or someone else to see. We see with our hearts. Thank you for sharing. Art can be both disturbing and healing. My goal has been to stay positive, but I know a lot of people are feeling sad.
