The Sick Child - Art By Edvard Munch

Inspired by “The Sick Child” painting by Edvard Munch A pale face, all happiness drained out! green and auburn lines - vertical and horizontal, swirl around her in abundance, except her face... devoid of any colour! A drooping dried flower almost ready to fall, return to the soil! Feeble and declining - from exhaustion, ailing and haunted - her expression! A young girl of fifteen…bedridden for many months! disease has crippled her, lying in bed she hopelessly gazing towards an ominous white curtain... a symbol of death! clutching hands of a woman for comfort, who can not look at her knowing it's all futile. Her eyes have lost the lustre and hope they once possessed, chestnut russet hair encircling the fatigued face of a maiden, who once was a bubbling cheerful child, Disease ravaged a budding flower! The final moment has come! PLACED FIFTH All colours of lustre and hope drained from a young face, She wears green.... Green and auburn lines playfully swirl around her…but, Disease has crippled her for many months, She clutches hands of her mother, when her eyes are vacant, Chestnut russet hair encircling the fatigued face of a fifteen year old! Final moment has come… A white ominous curtain is all she gazes at… A drooping flower, ready to fall!
