The Seeksorrow

 

Original 8" x 10" acrylic on acid-free paper painting. Inspired by the archaic word- seek-sorrow- one who strives to give himself or herself vexation. Here is a strange little man dowsing for sorrow in a dark forest.

The Seeksorrow

Seeksorrow is an archaic word for one who strives to give himself vexation. So here I've imagined an odd little figure dowsing for sorrows in a dark wood.
