for the emotion on paper: melancholy challenge. I searched and searched for an image that depicted a broken, empty heart and when I saw this one, I related to it immediately. Her blank stare reminded me how a broken heart has in the past left me feeling so empty and alone.

painting is "woman with crossed arms" by Picasso
poem is from "Losing Track" by Denise Levertov. I tried to fit the whole poem on the page but it was too much- it's a fabulous poem though so check it out.
I also used an overlay by Berna Datema recolored.

Kate, you found a wonderful image to reflect the emotions you were wanting to share. Anyone who has experienced a broken or crushed heart can relate to the blank stare and the emptiness and despair. It's strange how looking at a picture can evoke so many memories. Bring back so many emotions that you want to stay buried. Thanks so much for entering this challenge. I always love your art.
