There were 485 entries of various categories in this show.
THIS PAINTING MEANS SO MUCH TO ME. MY DAUGHTER LIVED AND WORKED IN JAPAN AND WE HEARD FIRST HAND FROM HER ABOUT THE DESTRUCTION AND DEVASTATION IN THE AREA FROM THE EARTHQUAKE OF MARCH 2011 AND THE TSUNAMI THAT FOLLOWED.
ALSO, THE SHORT AND LONG TERM EFFECTS ON EVERYONE'’S LIVES DUE TO THE INITIAL LOSSES OF HOMES, FAMILY, BUSINESSES AS WELL AS THOUGHTS AND FEARS OF THE POSSIBILITY OF LACK OF FOOD AND WATER, THE AFTERSHOCKS, THE CONTINUAL NUCLEAR FEARS, AND SO IT GOES ON. !!
WHAT I EXPERIENCED THROUGH MY DAUGHTERS WORDS ABOUT THE DISASTER, MAKES ME APPRECIATE SO MUCH MORE WHAT PEOPLE GO THROUGH WHEN I HEAR OF OTHER DISASTERS THAT ARE HAPPENING IN OUR WORLD.
EVEN THOUGH WE HAVE OUR NEWS STORIES, WE, IN CANADA, CANNOT IMAGINE WHAT THIS COUNTRY AND ITS PEOPLE WENT THROUGH AND THE EFFECTS OF IT ALL. MAY THEY BE ABLE TO REBUILD AND LEAD NORMAL LIVES IN THE FUTURE.
I HOPE YOU ENJOY MY INTERPRETATION OF IT ALL IN THIS PAINTING TITLED "DEVASTATION" .
