this work is amazing…. it’s raw emotion reaches out and touches the depths of my soul! I feel like i’ve been there but not quite as much as she has!
Love his work too. You are right. You can feel the fatigue.
Her fatigue is palpable…
Palpable – yes. My first thought was “Mine wasn’t that bad”…I hurt for her…
I agree with the two lovelies ahead of me…totally.
I agree with them all the time. I’m like the Caboose.
Laughing – that’s funny! 🙂
His paintings show the darkest side of humans.
Really? Ok, maybe a bit dark.
Because I checked his others paintings as well that’s why said so…
Yes, the others are dark, I agree.

What a capture of exhaustion!
It is Robert. Thanks for sharing.
Who was the artist? People really felt that picture
Artist is Giorgos Rorris. More background and links in the post above.
I admire people who can capture such powerful imagery with paint and canvas.
Me too. Such incredible talent.
profound – almost been there
Today, I am there. Right there.
Notice the wedding band on the table. Maybe her husband left. I see exhaustion mixed with a bit of relief.
I didn’t see that. I couldn’t take my eyes of her. What a great observation Carolann.
I know how she feels.
Me too!
I’ve been in that chair – I feel it!
I have too!
Yes, what viewpacific said…in fact I’m in it right now.
Me too!

my daughters have reminded me, that when i would come home after a long day of advertising. i would just sit on the couch, throw everything down and say, ‘just give me 10 minutes.’ i would then just sit silently and stare at the wall and breathe.
I’m smiling. I would sit at the dinner table after the family had already finished dinner and say the same thing. Can you please just give me 10 minutes alone.
hahaha, so you understand so well. and now my daughters understand as well.
Beautiful painting… The shading so vividly expresses the mood of the subject…. Nice! 🙂
It really does…
Excellent painting, very real to life. I feel sorry for her, she looks like a tired, worn out housewife, who could do with a shoulder to cry on and a good holiday! 🙂
Yes, what a wonderful picture of exhaustion.
