I went through...Just a personal note/brief add-on. <br />I went through producing works of art to defuse hopelessness after loss, and found that it made a lot of people uncomfortable, and some, kind of shied away from me because of it, as it brought up for them a rekindling of their losses. Therefore, being honest,I have to say also, that I realized I was being self-indulgent expecting other people to share my grief in this way.<br />I truly believe, that you really must consider<br />your audience with this kind of work, as it's very personal. I had to give you a reason for the previous comment left by me, but I wish you every good thing Holly, as I try to critique with honesty. Please feel free to disagree.I am simply playing devil's advocate, as no-one else has.<br />Anonymous Artist, who has experienced much loss.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2517043060746292743.post-8376442087396279272012-04-10T15:12:29.304-07:002012-04-10T15:12:29.304-07:00I think the work is really great, but NOT one for ...I think the work is really great, but NOT one for the wall. It captures the emotion of loss so well, but I think that too many people carry devastating loss, so it would be better in a book on bereavement as an illustration. Please show us some happy works because that is the only way forward from loss - hope ! Great work of art and don't let what I say stop your work in any way.<br />Anonymous Artist.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2517043060746292743.post-76800740210206065662011-10-08T10:17:57.752-07:002011-10-08T10:17:57.752-07:00Holly, thank you for sharing the personal image.

As one who has attemtpted to paint a response to grief and understands how difficult it is, I applaud this effort - it's both beautiful and heartbreakingly real.
