Yesterday at the CA I realized there are two more of her paintings at the Assembly Hall. I'll get pictures on Friday and post them.

There's so much about this movie that I loved. I was really pleasantly surprised with the respect with which it dealt with the subject matter of the message of Jehovah's Witnesses. But, the impression I get of Tim Burton is that he doesn't seem like he really cares what other people think about what he does. He doesn't seem to be a part of that mainstream Hollywood groupthink, like a lot of people who create films. I really hope this film served to give Sis Keane to give a witness to people who probably would not have been reached with the truth otherwise, and that maybe a seed was planted. I don't think even film stars are immune to learning to love the message and learning to love Jehovah. It's so different from anything you can experience in the world. 

 

I also found so much about this film relatable being an artist, and how you feel about the artwork that really expresses how you see the world. I recently started a phase of two different kinds of styles: symbolic artwork and more realistic portrait art. But both are ways of capturing emotion, either of myself or others. Art really does become an extension of yourself, so I can see how letting someone claim to be the creator of what you've made can be so soul-crushing, so to speak.
