Sketch A Day Drawing Challenge: Day 141 – How To Heal A Broken Heart

Today I painted from the heart and I speak from the heart. Today I miss my brother. I miss him so much and feel like this little girl in this painting. 🙁 I know others feel the same way, and that’s why I try so hard to bring visual comfort to all those who seek for anything to soothe the ache in their heart. Tomorrow morning, it’ll be 4 years since my brother walked this earth. He now walks in spiritual form, helping me to make the most of each day that I am able to still live my life. I am grateful for his help. I am grateful for each day I still live this mortal life. But as I am sure many of you can empathize, I still miss talking to him on the phone. I still miss his tight hugs. I still miss hearing him speak. I miss his unconditional love for me. When everyone felt I was being too sensitive, he always felt I had a good heart. I miss his love here in the physical world. I just miss him – everything about him.

About the Artist

I’m an artist, author, and poet. My work is often shaped by lived experiences and by paying close attention to the world around me… nature, and the people who have helped shape my life.

I usually paint first, and the words come later. Painting has been the safest way I’ve found to be honest about things that are hard to say out loud, and over time I’ve noticed other people finding their own stories in the work too.

My paintings are meant to comfort, to feel like a presence rather than a statement, and to give space for each person to find their own meaning. The connection that happens there matters most to me.
