Shock and Awe 20 x 30 oil painting by t . j . nixon
We experienced many hours of looking at paintings in museums and galleries .There were times when we would talk about the painting as we looked at them . Pausing at the large painting by Salvador Dali"s 17 foot tall great painting ' Santiago El Grande painted in 1957 we experienced a sudden jolting shock and were in awe of the masterpiece . In the painting Dali painted Saint James a first martyred saint riding a white horse over the sky of Spain as a protector . A nuclear bomb has exploded beneath the horse's hind legs . Mankind is vaporizing from the bombs blast . Soul are turning into angles and smoke . There is an upward movement of clouds , angles and souls towards the heavens or outer space . A Christ like figure ascends upwardly over all . Yes it was most shockingly awesome to rest our on Salvador dali's masterpiece painting . As a care-giver the memory of this day haunts me .So much in our lives is fragile and fleeting . Our todays may turn into our tomorrows . What about humanity ?
