The Way Home (detail)

It seems I painted this picture with some portent of things to come. Between the beginning drawing and the final brushstroke, two boys were killed in separate incidents; one in my own extended family, and another in my community... hit by a train. I had entered into this piece with the idea that the boy might be running from something. On reflection, nearing completion, I realized that this boy was desperately running towards home, back to the bosom of his Source, and that whatever we see as tragedies are not so from a different and greater perspective. I added the trail of stars at the last... the colour sparkles and changes according to your viewpoint. VIEW higher definition photo BACK to Figurative Works
