Empty Chair

This series came with much reflection during "covid." I know we may be tired of hearing about "Covid." We all deal with stress and loss in our own way. But for me it opened my eyes to so much loss. Loss not only through covid but through broken relationships, fear and resentment. It broke my heart and opened me to seek a better way. To reexamine my superficial spirituality and take a look at what it means to love your enemies and see myself in them and even see Christ Himself in them. These painting depict missing persons from desertion, death or dereliction of duty. We each have our missing persons and as a result feel incomplete again because we are meant to belong to one another.
