Cabins Part Deux

Apologies for the shadow I threw across the painting when I took the picture.

This is closer to what it looks like when you step back to the six feet that most people say you should be at to look at a painting:

First attempt at painting

I decided that before I went back to drawing I wanted to play with painting a little to see if I could do that too. Unfortunately, the painting was ruined by an accident. I am rebuilding it from a slightly different perspective and using a different technique.

The Suffering of Others

I feel the pain of others more than they can imagine. I see it in their eyes, their body language, hear it in the inflection of their voices, their vocabulary, and the pauses in their sentences. And I do feel it. I enter into their pain and misery even if only for a few moments.

Not long ago I watched as people were being laid-off from their jobs and each and every moment I could feel their anger, frustration, fear, sadness, confusion, and all the rest. Because I was the person who was most involved with their lay-offs I was the object of that suffering.

For the last couple of months I have been recovering from it all. I am still recovering. I'll return soon...
