Thank you Laurel. I need to go back to my roots of illustrating poetry. Painting and poetry are similar artforms in my opinion.

Thank you so much Laurel. You have been such an encouragement to me. Look for some new pieces very soon.

Saundra, your work is always inspired by numinous, emotive depths and, as such, always touches my soul space. This is no exception. I read afresh the poem and was tempted to copy paste it into my comment. It has appeal to all manner of man’s inhumanity to man... POWERFUL piece...I will surely revisit this thematic entry. LF
