"A sun sets in the sky,
done with its work
as the moon comes up.
A cry breaks the silence of the night
as she tries to keep her family together..."

THIS IS AN EXCERPT OF ONE OF MY FIRST PAINTINGS (2001)-
Acrylic on stretched canvas
16"-20" (40.6cmx50.8cm) unframed.

To add more drama, I mixed fine beach sand with acrylic paint, which I used for the backround.
This gives the rough effect I wanted for this NIGHT CRY.
The painting has been hanging in the apartment of my oldest daughter Eveline and in the office of my husband Fred.

A Shiver,
Hold me, comfort me.
The stones are nothing but pain tonight.
Hold me to your breast so that I ramble.
The stars are gray as ash
and the road to them is blaze with light.
1993 -Saadi Youssef- (Seven Poems)
Translated from the Arabic by Khaled Mattawa
