In Remembrance.

This past October, a friend, T,  had a very unfortunate event happen to her.  She lost her full-term baby girl.  The doctor's couldn't find a reason why the baby stopped thriving at 39 weeks.  My heart was broken for her and her family.

I am part of a collection of women, mostly moms, who are part of a message board.  There was a collection for her to help with meals and anything else her family would need.  I gave as much as I could, which wasn't very much.  It didn't feel like enough.  Then, a mutual friend contacted me and asked if I would like to create a painting for our friend.  She said that the other day, T had mentioned that the pretty pinks in the sunset had reminder her of her baby.  And, would I do a painting of a sunset full of pinks and oranges?  Of course.

I don't normally do scenic paintings, and because of the meaning behind this, I was nervous.  I didn't want to screw this up. I wanted it to be just right.  And, I wanted some of my style to be included.  I am happy with the results.  I hope T is too.
