I love Roger Waters and his courage. Pink Floyd songs were so prescient (Another Brick in the Wall, Welcome to the Machine, etc.). He was awake way before most of us.
There are sages, poets and band members. Roger is a sage who speaks truth, pens poems to wake us up and immortalizes them in powerful songs. Thank you, Roger Waters. Caitlin, your painting captures Roger’s conviction and anguish in a raw and powerful way. Thank you, both, for your continuous reminders that we must first be human.
Great painting of a good man and a great bassist. And up yours Thom Yorke and Gilmore who goes along to his daughter’s concerts and takes over! Arsehole.
When evil, compounded by hypocrisy and deceit, becomes unspeakable, only the wordless expression of the visual arts and music can convey what cannot be said.
In this portrait, I FEEL the suffering that lies at the heart of compassion, the mixture of emotions that liberates us to act on behalf of those whose plight causes us, privileged to be a citizen of the Empire, , to suffer with them and using our privilege, act to defend and protect them dismantling the UInspeakable system of privilege, which rests on the corposes of those sacrificed to the God of War.
"Normally vindication is supposed to taste sweet, but having history prove you right in some of the worst ways imaginable probably just feels cold and lonely."
All of that captured in the way you depicted his eyes. So talented.
Ha, my friend you trapped me. When I see something of interest that I have no understanding, I have to research. I discovered the meaning and then here you are with the answer long before I understood. I love you too : )
Roger Waters is a great human being. Excellent painting!

Beautiful work, Caitlin. And yes, if there is to be any justice Roger Waters is long overdue for redemption.
