About this piece:
The piece expresses loss and sadness. I was feeling quite emotional while I painted it in quarantine. I wanted it to be an expression of melancholy, but still hold an underlying positive essence about feeling raw and vulnerable, and the beauty that lies within that state of being.

I've paired the piece with this quote:
"Sadness flies away on the wings of time." - Jean de La Fontaine.

How it was made:
My original paintings are created with quality acrylic paint on either gallery wrapped or traditional canvas (or in this case, canvas paper!). Each piece holds a special vibration and energy as I only paint when I'm feeling inspired. In addition, I varnish each of my creations with a UV topcoat, to preserve the colours from the harsh rays of the sun. I build custom boxes to ship each handmade painting in, and when assembling, I use as many recycled materials as possible, being mindful of our environment. I hope this special painting can bring you the love and joy it brought me while painting it. :)
