So glad. I was really uncertain how it would be received. I really enjoyed the process getting to this piece after several attempts believe it or not. Restraint is difficult but hopefully impactful.

Both the words and art say so much…where was I reading that you need to leave space so it can be filled by others? And here it is. (K)

I can understand that sweet Gary. Loss is so difficult but only felt when you’ve loved so deeply. So please try to focus on that. I know easier said than done. Hugs.

If you have never experienced the loss of a love, can you truly appreciate it at its fullest?
It you have never been in the dark, is it possible to really appreciate the light?

In a world that often seems broken, the light must be encouraged to shine. Magnificent and powerful words, Zachery’s and yours! Your abstract is powerful too. I was wondering what the gold color is called, it shines! Thank-you for this beautiful post.

Awh! Thanks Jill! I was really unsure of this one. It is actually the fourth try. Each time it became more and more simplistic and the strokes more purposeful. I wasn’t sure, though, if it just looks like I slapped them on. LOL!

indeed, many things in life…. are such that unless one has actually experienced that pain/event – its unreal. and its ‘understanding’ just…… beyond our grasp.

I was really hesitant to share this one Debi. I did take me 4 tries to get it even to this though. So easy to OVERwork! But so wonderful when you can find simplicity and really be definitive on strokes. I am really trying to learn how important a light touch can be too.

Loved the painting and loved the words! It is so true…our empathy comes from experiencing pain ourselves. And no one is ever so broken that they can’t be put back together if they want to be.
