Painting Overview
I haven’t worked in a month.
I don’t know what to do. I can’t draw happy children and sad girls. I can’t draw cats and dogs.
I can’t draw rivers of blood and mountains of corpses. I don’t want to draw a war during a war.
I don’t even have the strength to breathe. I choke with pain and anger.
I publish old paintings. I don’t have the energy for new ones.
I’m sorry.
