Sometimes There Are No Words

My very first painting which I gave to my friend at the beginning of her journey (see below).  It was inspired by Kelly Rae Roberts.
Sometimes there are no words.  I'm losing my friend; watching her fade and it's hard.  I'm weary from lack of sleep and a torrent of emotions; I'm taking the day off.  But I'll leave you with some great posts I thought you'd like to see:

  • Check out this great interview about how one artist manages her day. (Helpful for writers, beaders, quilters, and all kinds of creatives)
  • Pound away frustrations with a hammer to make an easy yet beautiful Mother's Day card here.
  • A creative handmade gift for Mother!
    Hope your weekend is a good one.  Give your loved ones kisses and hugs. Especially your Mom!  And if you've lost your mother, here's a ((Hug)) from me.

      Watching a loved one fade to nothingness is terribly soul wrenching, exhausting and draining of one's self....totally understand....Will keep you and your friend in my prayers.

      I'm so sorry to hear about your friend.

      I could see the KRR influence in your drawings, yes. They are wonderful, by the way, I love your style.

      And thank you so much for the shout out and link to my post! You should definitely try flower pounding. It's soothing to the soul, haha.
