Empowered...
I remember feeling ready to move on from the pain that I had been experiencing at the time. I was feeling strong and peaceful, knowing my life could be as full as I wanted to make it, completely in front of me, and mine to make the most of. I am feeling like that again for the first time in awhile. I can only attribute this to a renewed sense of willingness and faith and the courage to take the action around it. Surprisingly enough, doing the work, WORKS. Thanks, thanks, thanks...HP, sponsor, friends, and family.
Loss...

| Painted early 2007 |
This was painted right after my separate from my husband. I no longer had my children on a daily basis, which was one of the most painful experiences of my life. I saw a lot of red and black when I closed my eyes every night when I was not tucking them in. I did not have much peace during these times, but staying close to the program of Alcoholics Anonomous, my HP and the support group that I had found, I did not find it necessary to drink through this pain and for that I will be forever grateful.

Playful, experimenting
 |
| Painted mid 2010 |
I was desparately trying to get out of my black and red phase (apparently couldn't quite let go) so I was experimenting with some differnt colors. This was painted right after I finished my biggest piece titled "abandonment", which was actually a three year project. I was feeling like I was ready to break out and paint some joy. I don't know if it was successful, but I had fun doing it...most important, I think.
