Masks

Behind every mask there is a face and behind that a story.

We are all masked people operating 

In disguise at all levels of life

Attempting to sell the idea that all is well

Yes! True! Powerful in phrasing--every word counts-- and in brevity! ...matched with a powerful acrylic.
I think it's like a Societal Contract - ask anyone, great or small, how they are, and the correct answer is "fine or great."

We’ve become programed to respond in that fashion, knowing no one stands around to hear a different response, and we also know that no one cares. Thank you for your comment and visit.

Reminds me of a cousin, who when asked "How are you?" answers in lengthy detail.

I just happened to stopped by and notice this write. This artwork is truly engrossing, with its deep colors and thoughtful brushstrokes. It’s such a joy to see this painting and it means a lot to know that my writing inspired it. Thank you much for that. Very expressive thoughts to reflect and complement the painting.

I like the last line "Attempting to sell the idea that all is well". Thank you for sharing the painting and the write, MCS.

AH, thank you. Your words summoned those colours and brush strokes, masquerade fired up my imagination. Thank you for that.
