I may not have ever experienced the exact situation they are in but I have without a doubt felt the feeling of being alone. There was a period in my life that I felt alone. To this day, I can clearly remember the dark place and feel the heavy, empty feeling of being all alone. It was on that same day, after many hours and many tears, that I finally realized, I am not alone. In physical form I may have been alone but in my heart and soul where my creator resides, I am never alone. I found solace in this belief which in turn gave me the strength to move on.
This piece was created as a reminder to me and to others that no matter how deep in despair we are or how lonely we are, We Are Never Alone.
It is so much fun seeing you grow as an artist.
ReplyDeleteIt also helps me to feel that with more effort and classes I could create art that I would make me happy. (I don't know that I would ever show it to anyone.)
Hi Patti-THANK YOU for visiting me today. It's always good to hear from you. I believe you can do whatever you want to do. I never really knew that I could draw until in August 2011 I gave myself 10 minutes and by golly I created a face. I knew then that I was going to make this work. I have consistently shown up to do my part. You can too. Just decide what you want.
DeleteHello friend! What an honest, heartfelt post...and beautiful artwork! I feel you here. I have a close friend who has been going through a tough time for the last few months, and have been doing my best to be there, listen, and do whatever I can to help. You're right...we are never alone. There are always people in our corner, as well as God. I know this is something I've also had to learn over the last two years.
ReplyDeleteI feel very fortunate to have found a friend like you, and can't wait to see you (and create art with you!) again!:-) I'm also excited to visit your new blog--what beautiful design!
Jenny, Jenny, Jenny! It is ALWAYS terrific to hear from you. It tickles me to see how much enthusiasm you have for creating, again!! You have been there from the beginning when I started my journey. It's fun sharing our journeys. I'm in your corner!
DeleteTruly beautiful and so true! Teresa, your art and your words have been such an inspiration for me. You have the gift of both. If you are ever bored of drawing and painting I think you could be a writer! Better yet publish your writing and illustrate it with your art. What I see and feel is only the beginning for you.
ReplyDeleteKeep creating!
Ahhhhhh Debbie! You are such a TERRIFIC cheerleader! Thanks for stopping by! How are you doing with your studio? Hurry up and get it done so I can come visit and we can create together.
