I love that you can relate to your painting but have a brighter hope shining that this girl doesn't. <br> <br>Grief is so unpredictable friend, hang in there.

I know it seems like the day Eve was due will never get here and then be gone. After it does, it feels like the guilt of thinking of ever having another child will never go away. The loss of her will never be bearable. I still think of Charlotte alot. However, that sorrow and loss, knowing that we will meet again someday but not soon enough isn't so hard to bear. It never goes away but it I don't mind carrying it anymore. You are an amazing artist and I wish I could have had this picture to portray my feelings like you do. I always felt like I had to tell everyone I was ok. I had to go into work everyday and ignore all the hurt and sorrow (I was teaching highschool freshman at the time). What an amazing thing to be able to work through all your feelings this way.callieadamsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2095265928930417153.post-20677312335689913422011-12-29T10:54:06.000-08:002011-12-29T10:54:06.000-08:00Thanks, Fran.

I don't think our postmodern culture has made any visual room for that. so no wonder it is cathartic for you. it's like her beautiful face gives me permission to feel sorrow. thanks for putting "we". there's a lot of us who have been supressing what needs to be expressed for real healing to take place. I think art and music and movies and books are places where our triggers are pulled and we feel safe letting it all out. I'm so glad you're painting. <br> the style of this reminds me of German expressionism, but has more warmth, kind of like Diego RIvera. I love the brushstrokes/dappled colors in the skin. thanks for sharing this with us, Beth!Jennifernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2095265928930417153.post-17560190754157386502011-12-29T18:49:13.000-08:002011-12-29T18:49:13.000-08:00Thanks, Jennifer!
