You Were Loved

 

My husband, Tim, succumbed to his long term illness on Monday, July 9, 2024.  Tim was an amazing man who was so considerate and loving to others.  I will miss him very much.  Rest in peace Tim.

I will be taking a leave from my blog until I feel like I can again share my art.  Right now I am not creating and am trying to make sense of the loss I feel.  I will return but not for a while.

What a fun challenger to cream from arms length.  That is what happened here again.

Going through boxes and boxes and cleaning out is cathartic.  I found a background that I never did anything with….the woman in this case.  I added a few things and voila there is a postcard.

 I am so glad to get this piece out there.  I did the background well over a year ago and it, too, has been hanging out on my desk waiting for the right images to add.

 The woman figure on the right has been appearing in many of my art pieces recently.  I wish I knew why she is so sad.

 The papers used in this piece are mostly suminagashi papers I made a few years back.  The white and red paper in the center is tissue from a gift most likely given to me on Valentine’s Day.
