Description
I like powerful facial expressions. There's such a wide gambit of expression from pain to ecstasy. With this one, I want to portray sadness--brokenness (as the title says.) I kept it black and white because I felt it would be stronger than color. It's amazing when a painting portrays your emotions. I hope anyone who's sad or anguished could take some comfort in this image.

I had a reason for creating this; keep reading if you want it. Recently, people have celebrated, but I have mourned. Some are lauding a government ruling, but I have not. Homosexuality hurts me, and it saddens me that the government decided to overrun states' rights to say that states cannot ban it. I've said before that I'm a Christian. Since I believe the Bible, which says it a sin (just like unmarried sex and lying, mind you), that is reason enough to stand against it. I also have another reason for it.
I believe that men and men or women and women can have a deep love for each other--an amazing love of friendship, best friendship, "bromance," brotherly or sisterly love, and such. Look at Frodo and Sam, Sherlock and John, and even David and Jonathan (the Bible characters)--these are examples. This love is an amazing, beautiful love, one I've experienced. But now, people might push these deep friendships to be homosexual, just as if they might push a man and a woman's deep friendship to become a dating one that neither want. From these wrong pressures, I think one of three things could happen. 1. The friends would say "NO. We're not homosexual," and continue on their way; 2. They would unfortunately decide to try it, because people are pushing for it; or 3. One or both may say, "I'm straight, I wouldn't do that! What if people start thinking things about us, or I can't get a date because I'm seen hanging out with my friend?" and from this fear, separate and create distance from each other.
This outright robbery of a loving friendship, one that is wholesome and sweet, can just tear at me. Imagine if you kept yourself from hugging or even touching a dear friend because of people around you. It would be like a mother never kissing her child, because she doesn't want to be accused of incest. I'm not rallying to hate; I'm expressing my grief at a loss of deep, personal friendship. What will I do? I'll keep loving people. In His truth, I'll love my friends and family and anyone who doesn't agree with me (Here's a great explanation of it here ). I'm NOT better than everyone else, I'm a sinner, a wrongdoer. I'm absolutely lost without Christ. In His truth, I'll love. Love is powerful, and we need it. I'm not to hate, but to, instead, give love to everyone in the Christian manner I'm called to do.
