September 12th the day after by christiana lewis

September 12th the day after

www.colorfulsouls.com, www.blogspot.com,twitter
I lived in New York City on 43rd and 11th and was on the 48 floor outside unfortunately photographing the 2nd plane hit. We were stuck inside for a few days as our apartment and building was ridding of the ask and darkness. This was the result of my heart and brain for the time spent inside reflecting.

love the light and colouring,and the theme is a universal one, which needs to be told. I hope you continue to paint with the same truth you have here, as art is born from the reality we experience, and thus inform others of our inner workings...Aaron.

Absolutely stunning painting filled with emotion and creativity, it is amazing what comes from deep within our hearts at times of trauma.I think where ever we were in the world we remember that terrible day, but your painting creates something positive from something negative which must be a healing thing.And that is the gift that true artists have.

I look at this painting and I see the pain and anguish of a mother clinging to her children, her family, gone in the blink of an eye. The colours of pain, the tears.
I cannot fault this painting. It dose not need detail, a few swift brush strokes says it all. I read you personal status and see you are a very spiritual person and have the gift to convey your deepest emotions on to canvas. Thank you. xxxxxx

Not only is this painting beautiful in it's own right, but with the meaning behind it, it is grand. Beautifully done, and I hope the scars from this experience have become lesser for you and that through art, you can become whole again.

christiana lewisI paint about the hope for positive change in life. Constantly emotionally checking myself to become a better person.

I am currently featured in orange counties 944 magazine's october issue on page 23 for just my art alone and I feel so BlesseD! I am featured in the first issue of YOO-N-LA...it is a new great philanthropic magazine....I am also so grateful to have so many lovely comments from so many amazing artists and people....I must add though..I would love some constructive comments as well!
