My month it was made, my heart is full..
almost 5 years ago, I was commissioned by one of my Snapchat supporters. I was fresh in my art studio and he supported my art so much in the short time that we knew each other. He bought several pieces of jewelry from me and ended up commissioning four paintings. I’ve finished the first one on the same night he passed away suddenly and he was never able to receive it or see it in person, I ended up placing it on display as his service, and left it for his family to take home of course. The next few got finished that long after and they were picked up as well. The final painting was of him and it was a very special piece that I didn’t want to mess up, so I was waiting until I felt confident in myself enough to complete painting, before I knew it, four years, went by and I moved out of my studio. I moved to several new stages of life, let art get away from me for awhile. Until recently, I’ve been devoting more of my time to my art again, and have came back into to happiest myself after much adversity.
Then, right on time.
He didn’t forget he gave me my time like he said, ‘There’s No rush’. (As well as his family)
A few weeks ago
His younger sister messaged me. ‘Hey did you have that painting still?’ I was afraid, but I did and I knew it was time to complete it, I’m so grateful that I did. That I could.
A weight I can’t even fully describe has been lifted.
At last, it’s complete. It’s finally in the right place, and our hearts are full.
A true supporting angel
I will Always remember
