the meaning of this painting:

" i saw her standing in the road holding her dead child. her village traditional make-up made her shimmer in the sun. i had never seen anything as beautiful as burma gleaming like gold".

comments made:

This is stunning. So much power and emotion.

Wow. Full of emotion and power--and perhaps a strange joy, despite the sorrow.

Love the crackle background, it make the images come alive and vibrate with exciting energy washing away the display of death in an ironic juxtaposition, interesting work of art to contemplate!!!

Love your freedom of expression. I love what you're doing. It's fantastic and makes me feel proud to know you! Bravo ~

I feel sorrow and pain, hope and contemplation. It's striking. Deeply impressive.

You are an outstanding exemplar of why all artists should travel as much as they can, especially to places that are outside their normal comfort zone!

Beautiful work!
