Numb-portraits of hope close up
thought i would add more close up as I am waiting for edges of painting to dry
Numb ….this painting i am so protective over because at that time I felt like i had no contol over my life …I was only a shadow of myself …walking around guided by indifference ….I feel like I have to protect this painting because she was so meek and powerless and hurt….I was and part of me still is trying very hard to cut the strings and climb out of the shadow of myself….each day I get stronger ….

Vulnerable, powerful, raw and hurt my friend…this is very moving and honest portrait of the essence of extreme vulnerability. You are so gifted dear friend at capturing the very core of intense and felt emotion. So very well done. xxxx
