'The Gladiator' Watercolor by unASLEEP

This was a surprise image, from start to finish. I was shocked to clearly see the face of a sad and weary gladiator prominently staring back at me from the left side of the page, along with other secondary figures, like a pirate-like middle image complete with eye-patch, and the bow if a wooden boat on the right (as well as many other images - see close-up).

The sad gladiator was what caught my eye the most. He seemed to beg for release from that which he no longer wanted to do. He was tired of fighting. Maybe he had seen the pain and futility of his ways, but felt caught by his past - it was who he was. It was all he knew.

He reminds me of 'us' as we begin to awaken, tired of fighting what we think are the 'other's, but find in the end we have been fighting ourselves the entire time.

We're tired. We're disillusioned. We are looking for release from our self-imposed hell. I hope this sad gladiator find his permission to change - it's within us all the time. Your duty is not to fight and struggle. Your duty to yourself and others is to remember.

Who are you?

Peace-
unASLEEP

These are amazing unASLEEP. Do you ever sell paintings? Because I could hang every one of these in my house somewhere ; )

Thanks, bweazel......checking out the virtual art gallery today, huh? :-)

You know, I did think of perhaps one day offering inexpensive prints online of the originals. Hmmmm....maybe I will....

[bweazel]

Yes ma'am. I really think you should. These are very powerful pics. I love paintings you can look at for hours and still not see all there is to see.
