Grief Paintings

This is a wonderful program through Hospice. There's a little talking one-on-one with a grief counselor, but then I take to the canvas. There's art supplies everywhere (I love acrylic paint) and I have the room to myself. The purple one is the first painting using small brush strokes. (Purple was my mother's favorite color.) The second painting is the orange and yellow one (I was thinking about Jack, hence the colors.) The orange and yellow are the same painting. The yellow is picked up in the close-up. Every single stroke on the second piece was used with my hands. I find it more cathartic that way.
