Further down my blog you will see part one of this combined entry.
On my 'Wish List' was that the 29 miners would be rescued and returned 'Home' to their loved ones. Unfortunately two more explosions have occurred and it is now the sad case of a recovery operation and with the continuing gas hazards and now a tunnel blockage, no one knows when this will take place.
This is so powerful, gave me "art chills", magnificent creation!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteWow, Judy...this is just so overwhelming. My heart goes out to the families of these brave men (miners are brave to go down below the earth every day). This is such a tribute, so heartbreaking, tho.
ReplyDeleteA real tragedy Judy...what a worthy wish and a beautiful piece of art.
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful...what a gorgeous image. Love your card.
ReplyDeleteTwo very poignant and powerful pieces, Judie. It is such a tragedy!
ReplyDeleteOh Judy such compelling and powerful work. Tears sprang to my eyes.
ReplyDeleteThis is another powerful and wonderful piece Judy. I was saddened when I heard the news about the second explosion. My prayers are with the families during this tragedy.
ReplyDeleteI'm with Peggy - I got goosebumps and knew immediately what you meant. What a fabulous portrayal of such a tragedy Judy... I pray for the families and friends of all those who were trapped. =)

awesome piece Judy!!
ReplyDeleteYour 2 mining works are really beautiful and moving.
ReplyDeleteA very lovely and touching piece. Hugs, Peggi
ReplyDeleteJudy, this was such a tragedy and it has touched the world outside New Zealand. I read that one of the miners was a 17 year old boy on his first day at work. Out of all the horror and sadness, you have painted a magnificent tribute to those who lost their lives. Rather than read a few lines in a newspaper your illustration has made us all stop and think.
ReplyDeleteStunning artwork.
This is a very powerful piece, Judy... have been praying for the best outcome... always fearing the worst.
ReplyDeleteCertaily a very Dark time for New Zealand...my heart and love to all those affected.
