Refugees at the border crossing

The composition doesn't reveal their true queuing style but more significantly illustrates their plight. A thoughtful and very descriptive work.

Thanks Derek. It's a very sad state of affairs. I like the idea of providing some kind of profound meaning to what I create. I like the work of Joan Eardly. One of her biographers, Cordelia Oliver, observed that, 'for her a truly successful painting had to go deeper than a mere visual record, no matter how accurate... [H]er success lay in her ability to combine the acute, uncompromising painter's eye with a warm human sympathy and understanding'. I'll strive for that.

Evocative and sincere painting of their terrible plight. Thought provoking, well done.
