Description
Oil on canvas, using palette knives.
I dedicate this posting to the victims of Hurricane Katrina.
numb with shock
agony silent
pieces float
like a whirlwind dark
it shattered explanations
only the pain lives
can we weep?
then let love grow hands
that bind wounds
The only worthy response to pain of such magnitude is to reach out and heal it.
Who of us, given a choice, would not pluck out that spike, and put salve on the wound?
Who?
This is the first part of the 'Pain' series. The others will follow shortly.

This is an incredibly powerful image of pain. My first perception is of the spiritual implications of how suffering, in itself, can bring about healing. The sense of the pain being singular in your image reminds me that suffering can be contained within and grace can flow instead of blood. Beyond excellent work of art! V Wonderful tribute!

I am astounded! You are a great artist and writer. You are right... who would not help one in agony? The situation is like that of a diver seeking a pearl in the ocean...how could you seek the pearl by looking at the sea? The diver needs several qualities: he must trust his rope and his life to the friend's hand, he must stop breathing, and he must jump. Who would not sacrifice something to help another? Wonderful work!!!
