super personal painting

I'm sorry about your loss, but it would have been another loss never see your paintings again. Stunning work Thea.

Sorry to hear of your loss.Good to see such accomplished work on the site.

An extremely poignant painting Thea. You are such an accomplished artist and I'm pleased that you have found the strength to pick up your brushes once again, after the heartbreaking loss of your husband.

Very sorry to read of your terrible loss. I'm glad though that you found the inspiration to pick up your brushes again, since you have great ability, and have painted a sensitive and touching picture here.

Dear Thea I wondered why we hadn't been seeing your work. I can't begin to imagine how you and your daughter are feeling. I am, however, glad you have managed to pick up your brushes so we can see more of your art, and I feel that we are honoured that you have shared this with us. All the best Gudrun

Thank you so much Thea, for sharing your wonderful art with us. This painting is unique and so emotive. I am glad you have taken to painting again you have an amazing talent.

My darling husband Mark sadly passed away last summer on the 18th July 2015, the pain has been immense, and still is. Both myself and my daughter are missing him terribly. Our world has been shattered. This is a portrait of my daughter Lila-Pearl with a painting of Mark and his ashes behind her. When Mark passed away I said I would never pick up a paint brush again as the thought of painting seemed so distant to me after such sadness. Almost six months to the day Mark passed I heard the sad news of David Bowie's death. David Bowie has been a huge influence Mark's life and as a result Lila-Pearl is now a fan too. Mark even requested Bowie songs to be played at his funeral. After hearing the news I finally felt the urge to paint again. Bowie's music will continue to live in our hearts forever along with our love for Mark. Lila-Pearl VIII 'There's a starman waiting in the sky' (2016). 30 cm x 40 cm Acrylic on canvas.
