It’s hard for me not to see your painting as a wild throwing off of burdens, expectations and old myths that have overstayed their welcome and purpose. I’m sorry for your loss of your dad.
I know, right? It all began shortly after dad died in 2006 and has been slowly, but most assuredly, rising to the surface. So grateful that my art (and writing) can assist me in the release.
2006. You said it perfectly…seems like yesterday. I’m sorry for your loss, Michelle . I hope you are filled with many wonderful memories when you think of time spent with your dad.
Grief. So many stages. It comes and goes like waves…sometimes gently, other times crashing. Never exactly the same. Often when least expected.

Yes, I get it. Lots to talk about.
So much substance to process.
Empathy=Connection!!
Sooo true.
Caring for others, their thoughts, struggles, ideas, etc. is the only way to make meaningful connections, keep relationships.
(I’m so sorry to hear of your father’s passing. )
Yes, there is a lot to process. And the fact remains, we are all in this together. Which is not a weakness but a strength.
My dad passed actually passed away in 2006 which is when I completed the "Release" painting. Still seems like yesterday though.
