Love & Loss

There comes a time or a juncture in ones life where all seems lost, never to be found again. Then in a blink of an eye something comes and then you see it, the Vision. With the vision comes clarity and with clarity comes the strength and courage to once again step back into the dance of life.

I appreciate you sharing your art, & thoughts in this, Sydne. Definitely touching a chord with your words ... beautifully put & look forward to them engendering conversation here.

In Grief - the bear is roaring its pain at the four spirits/eagles who are leaving her behind. She grieves the loss of her art mentors, and elders. They carry her spirit with them, to be reunited in another time.

Hello Carmen! :)

I think that every time someone we love dies a little of ourselves dies. This is one reason to love as much as you can in life. This includes your pets, friends, family and acquaintances. So also those you love but have never personally met. Expressing this in art is a challenge indeed.

Hello Chaline! One of my favs...most fragrant & delightful delicacy -- Lily of the Valley... great quote....savouring :)

Yes Vincent -- since ever I can remember I'm always surprised when I wake up, and am always grateful. Love, sometimes a salve, sometimes caustic...a curious conundrum.

This woman was about to undergo serious surgery. She was in a deep intimate conversation with her husband.

Oops

A wife still watches for her cowboy's return.

A discussion with an old friend had me do this sculpture a couple hours later.

Thanks Kevin, Kathleen & Antonin....

Love, Loss and disappointment:

Experiences of strong emotions like love or loss, make us grow.

The death of Morton Podolsky a good friend of 45 years.

Wow, that is a powerful piece Carmen. The Wolf's painful howl as old as the beginning of time - mystical smoke releasing the Eagles.

Here is my image on Love and Loss , and where our Faith lies in that .

Amazing, stirring diversity in expression -- thanks to everyone sharing.

Thanks for your appreciation of 'Grief', Janine.

Love can sometimes be but a fragile illusion.

You dont see da demon coming till him come callin

The loss of self, the loss of life ,the loss of youth, the loss of love and the loss of existence among loved ones.. or the grief for those gone ahead of you. family ,friends,lovers, and loved ones.

Appreciate you weighing in with your thoughts JL & Jean....

Loss invites evaluation -- lucid assessment.
