Karen L Christophersen:ArtEmotion

Paul Cezzane said, 'A work of art which did not begin in emotion is not art.”

I began painting a few years ago with a friend from work that lost her son as a way to express ourselves>>>awesome therapy. So here I am after many many sessions with canvas.

I feel that some paintings are prophetic or beyond what we can see here on this earth logically. My painting 'Dragon Fire' in some ways correlates to my late nephews life, he saw that the painting contained a dog way in the background overshadowing the hurt and pain and a dragon breathing fire and destruction mid-section going through and out of the painting -- exit right. He saw a man (himself) at bottom left coming into the painting surprised by the dragon . My nephew owned a little terrier (his healer). He was shot in a random robbing three years ago and was paralyzed from the waist down. He died last year in a tragic accident and is no longer with us. He associated 'Dragon Fire' to his life and I thank him everyday for that...I look at that painting and feel him with me.
