The Search

©2011 Philip Catania, The Search, oil on canvas, 8" x 8"

     Lost your head recently?  I have.  Philip has.  Everyone has, at one time or another.

     When tempers hit the roof, it can be quite difficult to cool down and regain composure.  Often words are exchanged which are difficult to take back.  Embarrassment and shame fill our souls at what was shouted out in the heat of the moment.  Apologies need to be said.

     In the past, a fellow would go "hat in hand" to the wounded person and voice his regrets.  In The Search, the man went a step further to reduce his mortification.  He took his "head in hand" and searched for the wronged individual.  This was a truly contrite being.

     Now, play The Search a different way.

     Life is a journey, a search.  Maybe my goal, my search, is for a wonderful job.  Perhaps I'm looking for a long-lost relative.  Please use your imagination when viewing this painting and write on Facebook what you see in The Search.  Philip and I would love to hear your thoughts.
