So many people with mental issues in the modern world, here is one mans way of dealing with it. Not the most uplifting of subjects to paint but of course a subject prevalent to so many, my wife's cousin committed suicide recently.... nobody knows why.
Touching.Prayers for these poor souls.
Sorry for your loss tel.
This is unfortunately very actual topic nowadays…
I only met him (Mark) 3-4 times but he always seemed to have his life in order, lovely wife and twin boys, nobody has been able to find any reason for his suicide which must be so tormenting for his family.
Dear gunaM you are among friends here. So many people go through life forgetting to be kind to themselves. Look after yourself.
gunaM, no please don't do that. I am glad you are ok.
Paintings should stir emotions be they good or bad, i'm glad that "last desperate act" was able to do that and i am glad to hear that GunaM is in a better place mentally.
I was in a very dark place myself just three years ago after being diagnosed with throat cancer and i am sure many on here will have a similar tale to tell, i was surrounded by people i loved and who loved me in return and this got me through....not everybody is as fortunate.

Oh, very touching tel. And I'm sorry for your loss. You never know what goes through peoples minds do you. My husband just a few days ago lost one of his cycling buddies to suicide. We were told he did it because he believed that nobody liked him. It simply wasn't true. He had just turned 40, left a 19 year old son behind. Such a shame. Life can be just too hard or cruel for some people to cope with. Your painting reminds me of Justin Wozniak, one of my favourite online painters, he almost hung himself from a tree. He says Bob Ross saved his life. Then he painted the tree! I'm so pleased he changed his mind, he's such a nice bloke.
