Description
The Thin Blue Line is a phrase used about the police, meaning they stand blue-clad shoulder to blue-clad shoulder as a thin but tough line between ordinary people and crime. I respect the police in general and I hope some people react to this painting by thinking of the dedicated police who do their jobs well. However, my “thin blue line” represents something and someone else. In part, the painting represents my husband, because he is the “thin blue line” between me and any and all disasters, sorrows, and pain. The other representation is for my lifetime of antibiotics, some of which are blue, that stand between me and death. I am on antibiotics 24/7, rotating the few that I can tolerate so as not to become immune to their effectiveness, and I also use an inhaled antibiotic two weeks per month. I periodically require hospitalization for 15 days of IV Antibiotics (a cocktail of three). In this simple painting, chaos and disaster are the background, and the blue line represents both the color of a lot of antibiotics I've taken and my husband’s birthstone (Sapphire).
