"I want their names. I want that community’s pain, to let them know that what we do is to keep that energy, that spirit, that that something that we love so much about our loved ones that passed away, to keep them here for a little longer and a painting is a good way to do that."

STORYLINE:
Texas artist Roberto Marquez heard about the deadly New Year’s truck attack in New Orleans and knew he had to go there.
The Dallas resident wanted to let everyone affected know they were cared about and he wanted to do that through a painting.
"I’m doing this to let them know that we’re here and we care about ’em. And I’m sorry for this tragedy, and I wish it hadn’t happened," he said Friday.
He was working on finalizing the exact image while painting Friday but envisioned a woman and a dove, hoping to represent both pain and hope.
He also wanted to keep the spirit of those who passed away alive, "to keep them here for a little longer and a painting is a good way to do that."
