I would like to thank Adebanji for choosing such a relevant theme for his moleskin book. Homelessness is certainly not a popular topic, but I feel here in Winnipeg more and more people are stepping up and trying to help out. I know our own hockey group donated a sizeable amount this Christmas to our local Siloam Mission, and I personally will continue with aid throughout the year.
Vern, very touching, and sensitively done...the cars and life rushing by. What's disturbing is how universal the image is to those of us in urban areas.
ReplyDeleteSo poignant the realization that any of us could be in a situation as this. May we count our blessings. So well done Vern to show the reality of our lives in our cities.
ReplyDeleteThe effect of contrast is outsatnding!The message here is clear-straight to the point.
ReplyDeleteYour piece communicates what a thousand words couldn't!
Very well done, Vern. In these trying times and the times ahead, assistance and prayer are indeed in order.
ReplyDeleteLove your take on the subject Vern, it's very powerful.
ReplyDeleteAnother great one. Adebanji will be stretching all of us as well as those who see these homeless-themed pieces. Well done, Vern.
ReplyDeleteWonderful job, Vern. Beautiful handling of the subject.
ReplyDeleteYour painting is very touching and sensitive and painted beautifully. The contrast of everyday life amongst the homeless, as well as the contrast of vertical and horizontal lines/shapes in your painting is excellent. Very well done, Vern.
ReplyDeleteSuch a strong painting that really tells the story. The contrast of of the lights and warmth of the background to the coldness of the ground he is laying on. Very moving and well done, Vern!
ReplyDeleteWow Vern. A touching and vibrant composition on a sensitive subject. You illustrated the nature and impact of the plight of homelessness admirably. I worked with the homeless during a ministry in Orlando a few years back and am very familiar with the circumstances. You did great, Vern.
ReplyDeleteA powerful,well done piece.
ReplyDeleteI live in Santa Monica and I am familiar with this subject.
Great painting Vern.
