General Description:

The Healing of a Nation "Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the children of God." Matthew 5:9

In the closing days of the Civil War an unsuspecting encounter occurs. It offers the possibility of a remarkable healing and closure to many of the unresolved conflicts that have threatened to unravel the very fiber of an emerging nation. A lone Union soldier is seen cradling a mortally wounded Confederate. The fallen soldier in Grey is none other than the beloved son of the plantation family where Solomon, now a battle weary veteran of the first Black Regiment, the Fighting 54th, was a slave from birth. The dignity of Solomon's soul is strikingly revealed as he tenderly consoles and prays over "his enemy." In a solemn moment, the moment of death, they come to terms as they accept the grace to truly forgive one another. Finally, Solomon manages to stutter a plea filled with healing, "Are we not brothers?" In a dying whisper the Confederate son utters his last parting words, "Yes...my brother."

The Co-title of this moving artwork is appropriately entitled, "The Healing of a Nation." America, symbolized by its "Colors" (the Flag) is reeling in a profound crisis of identity as it is being pushed to an immovable wall of stone. Will the indelible truth concerning the dignity of all men prevail? Yes, but through immense blood letting. Captured here is the one true solution that will heal so many wounds inflicted, if the nation but follow the leading of the Spirit. One is called to embrace the other with the healing spirit of forgiveness and brotherhood. Sadly, the upper pinnacle of the painting falls short in forming a unified triangle of strength, imcomplete, to this very day, because the healing of the nation is not yet complete.
