Acrylic on Archival Gessobord with 3/4" Birch Sides, 12 x 12". Ready to hang!
Today I had magenta on my mind. This is the color I knew I wanted to begin with, not knowing what would come next. Before I started painting, I googled the YouTube video of Beau Biden's funeral (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UaRKekOw15o), as I had heard President Obama gave a beautiful tribute to the Vice President's son who dies recently of brain cancer. Not sure when during the funeral the speech began, I just let it play as I prepared to paint. The priest gave his homily (at the 1:34:20 mark). It was one of the more beautiful and poignant funeral sermons I have ever heard, grounded in reality and full of love and hope. The President spoke at the 2:38.00 mark. Again, a beautiful tribute to a young man of integrity, who had known suffering and hardship at an early age. I am struck by the deep love of this family (his sister and brother spoke at the 3:03:00 mark), a love that was not contained but spread out to others. If you don't know the history, Joe Biden's first wife and baby daughter were killed in a car accident, leaving 4-year Beau, 3-year old Hunter and Joe behind. "Out of suffering, good can come if you look hard enough." Today's painting, reflects the depth and breadth of Love in the midst of brokenness and suffering. If you have a chance to listen to this tribute, it is well worth your time.
