#350: Marjane Satrapi

Support and raise the voices of those who are not heard.

Love with all your being.

Walk with Marjane in Persepolis and eat Chicken with Plums to see how.

#347: A Brighter Future Beneath

Oil on canvas.  An urban scene from the view of a driver on a dual carriageway.  There are buildings on either side of the road, and ahead there is a roundabout and flyover with housing estates visible beyond.  

All this is well lit by the sun that is coming from behind.  Most of the painting is sky, though, a sky that is dark grey above a complete, bright and vivid rainbow, and a lighter grey underneath the rainbow.

Along the bottom edge of the frame, on a small brass plaque, is engraved: “the rainbow contains / a brighter future beneath / but will we reach it?”
