Flowers, mourning for a loss


A sweet woman in my ward at church suddenly lost her husband.  This was my gift.  I often feel weird about making paintings for others, and I hope that they like it.  I don't want to force my art on anyone.  So far people usually love having a painting, but it's not always easy and sometimes a little embarrassing.  I don't share paintings to seek praise.  I just am touched that a painting means anything to someone else.  I received a FB message this week from another person suffering a loss who I gave a painting to, and she said it deeply touched her.  I'm willing to put myself on the line if there is a chance that it will lift someone else.

I did a larger version of this painting this week, and I'll post that next.  The colors are a little different.  I love both of them for different reasons.
The final
