Ripped Out of the Box (Part 2)

Hello everyone,

This is a continuation of how I started doing these unusual paintings. Part 1 is here.

I did some more experiments with paint, lace, embroidery and beads.

A simple rose.

This is called How Great Thou Art.

After I got the hang of doing these paintings I decided to do a little visual journaling to work through some of the grief I was going through.

This one is about the loss of my husband.

This one tells a little bit more of a story. It’s about when you lose somebody. She keeps waiting for her date to show up and he never does just like when you keep expecting that person you lost to walk through the door any minute but they never do. The middle of her body is missing because grief leaves a big hole in the center of your being.

After a long, long time there comes some hope, a feeling that there’s a light at the end of the tunnel.

This one is called A New Day.
