It's been two full days since the horrific events took place in Norway. I am been in a rare spot here- a visitor to a region experiencing pain and loss. Scandanavians mourn together- each person struggles to make sense of what has happened. I am not Norwegian, I am just a painter on a trip and, as these sorts of events have taken place, I feel the insignificance of my little adventure.
Church was packed today. Scores of votive candles lit the entire front of the church, signifying silent prayers for those most deeply impacted by the abombinable acts two days ago. I did not light a candle, but prayers were prayed nonetheless.
No painting today, just time spent with family and, in my mind, that's time well spent.
