All I know that the "Tragedy" was deep set in my heart after viewing it on the television. I felt heaviness in my heart and felt choked. I had to spread the remaining roll of my canvas in the studio on the wall to release myself of this burden and I painted it until I could sit down and cry.
That helped and I felt lighter.
First time I realized that the gray and black is the color of sorrow because generally I use many layers of colors in my work but for this painting I picked up these colors intuitively.
