Powerful impact. I am entranced by the faces you are rendering on the black paper. THe colors are just popping out at me. THere is much emotion here. Much pain. Jean

my own mother's death was in my mind at this time, and my youngest son, Joe, now a Krshna devotee and myself watching her. She died, though healthy for an operative's degree, Amina, of St barths Human Research- her topic, a natural death to an artificial one. They have carte blanche this century to do what they wish. I found it paticularly distressing as mother was so kind to them, one carer came in a scarf saying-do you mind me wearing a scarf/ofcourse not, replied mum/my father at home in his business like muslim workers, they got up early in the morning and were not lazy. the girl robbed my mother of all the silk I had brought her from China, including her bed coverlet and all the underwear from Munich. Mum was incontinent. The girl was Yemeni. I was soft like my mother but am beginning to dislike some of them. The English say the Pakistanis are treacherous and so they are, so why did they bring 22 mill. onto this tiny island. It is beyond me. Thank you-

love the way you did the sweater on the right side. it is cool. and the action of the colors and lines are a fine force to be reckoned with.

I nearly put features onto the two watchers but then decided against it, as they are not important, what is important is that they are watching death and are helpless- whether it is a natural death or an artificial (human Research) death- thank you

Very interesting! Good color and a very fine composition. There many paths for eye movement throughout the picture space. The brilliant colors do not quite go with the morbid theme. Perhaps, I missed something.

are colours less at death? My son baby son died and my mother and stepfather- I don't think it made a difference to the hues around them. You missed nothing- there is your picture and make of it what you will- but the title tells you, Human Research tests even the dying, making their death more painful, now, here not sixty years ago- thank you
