The Ampitheater of Sorrow
Peter Thao
Acrylic on Canvas Panel, 16x20”

This painting depicts the outside of a theater for the movie of Dead Man Walking, the novel by Sister Helen. It shows two gravestones portrayed out in public for the community to see; and it shows everyday passersby who came to see the movie and who learn about the tragedy.
