Sometimes It Seemed Overwhelming (Brian Haberlin)

You can spend a lot of time contemplating this one. The facial expressions are engaging and the arms can have many interpretations.

I purchased this painting from a gentleman that has one of the best collections displayed on CAF. He bought it directly from the artist at SDCC 2014. The original collector gave it the title "Sometimes It Seemed Overwhelming", and that is perfect.

As a school teacher, I have a lot of students that cope with feeling overwhelmed, and this painting is a poignant daily reminder of what some students might be going through on the inside. I am very thankful to its original owner for allowing me to look after it.
