Title: My Lebanon.
Year: January 1999.
Materials: Acrylic on Canson carton.
Behind the Brush: The Cedars: the symbolic tree of Lebanon. The sign of the Lebanese’s
endurance, the ever-youthful spirit of the citizens, and the white-haired cranium after many years of war, civil war, and chaos. The blue horizon is calmly portraying how our dreams appear to be when we think of an ideal moment about something we like. Two houses and more are among the snow waiting visitors and expecting company, warm conversations, booze, and maybe some things more.
The fence is Reality in its abstract/concrete existence, separating the greenish trees and the cultivated pastures and the bare trees express the state of man in front of the changing nature around him and his volition to surpass and outcome every obstacle.

I see that we're starting to see some of the masterpieces you were jealously hiding.
Yes. It is a beauty.
The purity of the snow,
the dreamy blue horizon glowing from the whiteness, and warmed by the bluish sky.
The barren dried trees in the foreground, beautifully rendered, made me think of the futility of our divisions. No life could be found where stubbornness rules.
And the great timeless cedar tree is watching silently. Forever green. Always full of life. A constant call to stay rooted in our land, look for common grounds and celebrate life.
Those houses will be large enough to accomodate the richness of our differences! Those houses will become a village, a town, a city. There will be a place for everyone... Under the watchful silent eye of the great timeless cedar.
I loved this painting.
Thanks for sharing this beauty.
And I loved your words and your appreciation of the colors and the painting. I think this has to do with the theme depicted, as my Lebanon is your Lebanon .. we perceive the same view but we definitely have our own point of views.

I donate you a tree of thanking!
Une belle peinture, fine et claire.
Les cèdres sont peints d'un style « naïf » tandis que les troncs des arbres en premier plan sont très finement sculptés.
Le ciel est très rêveur.
J’aime cette peinture.
