The Ultimate Conflict
Artist
Karen Musick
Medium
Painting - Oil On Canvas
Description
Afer finally coming to somewhat terms of just how much my physical limitations have created conflicts within myself, I took my frustrations out on the canvas. After eight long months, this is the result. I believe it to be the most expressive of my works to date.
This is my ultimate conflict
Created by those forces
who would make
me their convict.
An unreasonable sentence!
Forcing my spirit down
with unappeasable power
Wrapping my soul with the
fabric of unrelenting pain.
This is my ultimate conflict
Held on to by forces
who would make
me their captive.
An idea that life is worth living!
Surrounding me with
the soothing waters
of love, acceptance,
hope and forgiveness.
Neither allowing me to slip away,
like a flash of lightning into
the nothingness of the oceans.
This is my ultimate conflict

Hi. I'm a student in Australia and for my essay I need to find an external examples regarding the topic "Conflict". And I thought maybe I can talk about paintings instead of reading books or watching films. I just wanted to know what inspired you to paint this and what's the meaning of your painting. Please email me at hannahbelonio@yahoo.com. I do hope you see this comment.

@joe thank you very much. They try to put me into catagories and wellllll. I even had this 'famous' artist who has a unique and impressive scuplture ranch here in the Texas Hill Country look at my work and declare "There isn't room in this world for two Frida Kahlo's you need to paint flowers or something like that"..... two hours of this humiliation while I sat there dumbfounded and well, ill, as I'm chronically ill. How do you paint heaven from hell was all I could think of retorting back...but nature called in a bad way and had to excuse myself to go be sick in his restroom. joy, right flowers... I photograph (or digially capture) flowers... I paint PAIN... deal. I finally decided he was jealous or threatened. Either way, thank you very much! Karen
