I'm glad I saw your painting. It is a reminder of a minor detail during a very hard time in the life of my family.
My sister passed away and dozens of flowers were sent to our house. It was a jarring feeling, having these beautiful floral arrangements and what they represented. We wound up putting them all out on the back patio after a few days because it became overwhelming.
Oh wow... I just got reddit yesterday and I really wasn't expecting ... well.. THIS.
I just wanted to say for anyone who related to this, that I was painting about quite a difficult period of depression. What worked for me was seeing someone about it. It's difficult to explain everything through words, so I paint. I know that seeing other people go through difficult times makes us feel less alone, and that helps short-term, but I have to say that trying to get out of it is worthwhile, and it is possible.
Meanwhile, I am still figuring out how this website works, and I am Overwhelmed with all the kind responses.. wow... such an unexpected welcome. thank you.
