My Lord What a Morning, When the Stars Begin to Fall

by Cynthia Low

Regarding her work, the artist says:

This painting is about My Painful Struggle with Depression. It is about that Bliss that is felt at the end of each Consuming, Drowning Dance with Sadness, that Silver Lining, so sweet and so pure. The unfinished edge on right side indicates stress at being confined in a social box. The title comes from words of a Afro spiritual song I learned as a small child that brought me Great Joy.
My Brain Hot, my Skull Drops
Light and Crisp Like Popcorn
Falling Carelessly
Like a Rainbow Drawn Hard and Fierce,
By a Child With Threatening Crayons
The Fallout
The Savage Blue Sky is Haughty
The Sun Arrives, but not Really
Explosions in the Light Hot Darkness
Are Consumed by Mouth

Cynthia, thanks for the lovely painting to include here. I love the expression on her face and the way she's holding her arms, plus all of the things that are falling around her. Looks like she has some storm clouds and the sun, like many times in life.
