I love it @reddust! So gorgeous!!! I really like the one where she's holding her son. Your leaves are beautiful.
For the story, I want to say, that I have been trying to appreciate grief lately. It does a lot for us, Charles Eisenstein has an incredible podcast episode about it. Thanks for sharing your beautiful paintings hun!!!
Grief I found is like a huge thunderstorm that passes through my mind and body. My teachers helped me build a shelter so I wouldn't be carried away in the flooding of emotions, which I used to experience for years and years and years. Storms are good they bring rain and new growth but getting lost in them is awful. Thank you @itchykitten
