Paint A Picture Black and Gray

Pull out the easel set the canvas positioned long and slender clean slate. Sketch the figures huddled and dark bound hostage to charcoal cooled coals etching images; Faceless entities slipping in and out the background earth toned sojourners accepting, alone, quiet, dying; Still the images in silence hard and disfigured grotesque horrors in place; Somber soul drained eyes skeletal socket holes buried in the heart; Let tears fall down their cheeks in wonder, awe and fear of what happens next. Acrylic primers dilute the wash in the story line flaking and cracking each soul and truth; Polyptych blended burnish bleeds quiet, soft exuding whimpered cries, Chiaroscuro collages of death from life fading to diluent breaths of an unholy silence; Graded gouache monochrome scraper boards releasing sfumatos of singular communal lives sacrificed Varnish the final rendition to camouflage the actuality of what it represents Time immemorial in genocide atrocities of Native Americans, Cambodians, Hawaiians, Jews, Rwandans, Bosnia, Darfur,. When does it stop? Life is more precious then this until change comes Paint the Picture Black and Gray and pray then act. For The Seeker - My take on the Holocaust 10/11/2016
