Description of the Artwork “River of Sorrow”
My inspiration for this painting came from a poem I read at the same time thinking about the unnecessary world of violence that we live in today it's like making people feel like they're sinking in a river of sorrow because things haven't changed we need to show and see more beautiful things in our life like nature and butterflies in flight show each other more kindness. This is the poem I read. "Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that." BY: Martin Luther King, Jr. Watercolor painting on the highest quality 140 lb cold press acid-free 100% cotton fiber on watercolor Canvas paper.
