Fury

The next moments in my life are so difficult to put into words. They are searingly painful and I've been hesitant to relive them. I think I need to travel down that path again...but until then - I've added some photos of paintings I did on my grief from stillbirth in an art therapy course.
They are raw and I am no painter...but I think they express my emotions at the time well. Much of the paintings are done with circular patterns and that's very much how it felt. Endless circles of emotion.

Holy sh*, N. You are not no painter; your paintings are amazing. I've never seen your paintings, before, and, though I was heartbroken, amazed, and thankful for your sharing as I read your story (I kind of knew from earlier conversations, but never the details)... I am overwhelmed at the universality and expressiveness of the paintings. Thank you SO much for sharing them. In a weird way they are very similar to some of my paintings and drawings. I can't wait to have you over this summer and have a nice chat.
