Description
I don't have adequate words to truly describe all the reasons I made this painting, partially because it's very emotional and partially because it's not my story to tell. What I can say is that this is a gift for a dear friend I have known since I was young whose brave 6 year old son finally lost his battle with a brain tumor this week. This friend is such an amazing mother to both of her kids, you've never seen anyone fight so passionately for their children. RIP Austin.Mostly ink and watercolors, a bit of acrylic

I wish I could have done more than I did honestly, but we live half a country apart now days.

You did something from the heart and no matter how far apart you live that's what truly counts <3

Awe thanks! While not religious myself, I've always greatly appreciated both beautiful chants and the Greek church for their asthetic beauty being related to the devine.

Awe thank you, it had a mini disaster too in the form of Viktor coloring on their faces with a sharpie... a bit o acrylic later you can hardly tell still, major meltdown on my part LOL ^_^; Maybe I should have him do that to all my pieces so i work harder to hone them!

Based on the emotions in the drawing, I would say Austin was a very lucky child to have a mother like your friend. May he rest in piece.

To say this is beautiful, heartfelt and emotional doesn't even begin to cover what you're going through, let alone your friend. I have no idea how I'd cope with that kind of thing and as I don't have children myself, I wont pretend to understand - it's impossible.
My other half saw this over my shoulder and said "ahh that's really cute", after telling him the reasons behind it he went quite for a while. When I asked him if he was ok he said "Yeah... Just keenly aware of how shit life can be." I think that sums it up.
The picture is beautiful, friendship is beautiful and motherhood is beautiful. Life, on the other hand, is ugly and brutal.

Awe yeah I think as I see one already a lot of people are going to skip over the artist comment and say it's cute. My intention isn't to be everyone's Debbie Downer with this, but I do think it's important to note, maybe encourage others to cherish the gift of life a bit more and put things in perspective. True, it can be indifferent and appear cruel, but it's just life.

I am so terribly sorry for your friends loss. I cannot even comprehend what she is going through right now. This picture is beautiful and all the more sad knowing a little of why you have made it for her.

Yeah i can't fathom her sadness and the void left, but I can tell you I've been holding Viktor quite a bit tighter, to his dismay ><
