Oil Painting 48 x 24 As I only had a 24 period to paint this I'm planning to redo this painting on a much larger scale. Something in the poem my partner had written reminded me of Edith Eger had written in her book The Choice, her story of surviving the Holocaust. In the moment that she thought she was dying and had been abandoned to die on a pile of already dead bodies she heard American soldiers arrive and she found just enough strength to reach out one more time and let them know she was alive. It was so deeply moving. There's always a way to keep going even in the most dire of circumstances. Even when it feels easier to die and death seems to be pulling on you to let go.
