==============================
This piece speaks to me on a more personal level. Last year around this time my life went through turmoil. Left my abusive relationship. I moved 2 times in 4 months and had to retake a class I did not pass. I could not concentrate because I was scared of becoming homeless at the time. Through thick and thin, through blood and sweat I bloomed into an independent woman. When my life felt like it was ending, like I was a shadow. I did everything to make it continue without me wallowing in my own griefs and hard times. As hectic as last year was I do not regret it. I became an independent person that relied on no one and kept an apartment over my head, as well as my cat and I fed. I learned how to budget and become a flower in the darkness.

I think this is a brilliant painting! We artists have strength inside of us that we can transform onto canvas or paper. I congratulate you on going through those dark times and coming out on top, becoming a stronger woman. It is not easy to lave an abusive relationship for I know, my first marriage he was very good at mental abuse. I will be watching you for I would like to see other artwork from you. Keep up your painting for that in itself is therapeutic and healing. If you see my gallery, you will see 3 acrylic paintings of 3 children and an adult walking down the beaches of Hawaii. This helped me through my grief when my older brother died but he left behind a legacy of 3 children. I was able to do a painting for each child as a remembrance of their father. I was blessed to have 5 days of bereavement when I was working.
