Sketch A Day Drawing Challenge: Day 171 – I’m Here…

“Sometimes the veil between this life and the life beyond becomes very thin. Our loved ones who have passed on are not far from us.”– President Ezra Taft Benson

Recently a good friend of mine passed away. It was hard news to hear. He was a great man, an angel to many – including me. He was a good friend when I was going through a dark time in my life. He will be deeply missed- but never far away. He will continue to be an excellent angel to many. 🙂 . This is a sketch of he and his daughter. He loves his family very very much. ♥

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.
