I don't think it is a sad entry at all, but one that gives hope. Hope and knowledge that out of a dark place in your past, you are able to evolve into the beauty that is you today. An artist creating beautiful art from her heart.
I have come across similar exercises in my own art journey, but I honestly don't think that I have dug quite that deep (yet).
I love your painting in all its detail (and I am very happy to see that you are not 'selling' it for a couple of $$ like so many others). I know from my own work how meditative drawing these kinds of details are. I love doing it a lot!
Thank you so much! It is such a therapeutic experience for me. I am very grateful for my talent in arts, as art has always been my loyal companion throughout my journey in life.
I couldn't agree more with you 🙂
