Painting with Tears






Beautiful Suffering by Kirsten Borror

2012 Acrylic 5x5



Mixing colors on my palette tonight I saw a drop on the palette just below my face.  As quickly as I saw it, the color I was dabbing into was starting to dry. I swished the brush through the tear and increased the fluidity of the yellow.  It is whetted by my own tear drops. Sometimes there aren't words to speak our mourning. I will only say that the groan in my heart is evidence of an ocean of love.
