I Think I'll Disappear Now
12 x 16

a year ago this May,
my blog was a new baby in my life...
and things were going very well...
and then I was contacted by my SIL who
informed me that my brother had
died..
he had shot himself in the heart...
now...
gentle readers...
please do not think that this post is about that,
because it isn't
it is about the paintings
that I have done as a way of healing
the piece above was painted last May...
I just naturally went into the studio and
gessoed a canvas and began to paint...
from my heart...


and then...


when I returned from
Art Fest
I was just on fire with ideas...
but I kept going back to
a canvas that I had been toying with
for over a year...


Light Rising
30 x 35


I finally finished it the other day
and realized that it was in response to my
brother's death
and the anniversary of it, in May...
isn't it amazing how the psyche
will undertake healing
whether we are
completely conscious of it or not?
