Done in oil pastels on 7in. X 10in. multimedia sketchbook paper. This one's not a personal favorite of mine, but at least I can say it's done and out of my personal space. I'm ready to move on to other potential projects now...if I ever get to them.

I started on this piece all the way back in July. This was sitting on my coffee table for months before I finally finished this as of last night. My life has been pretty eventful since then. I'll just give a brief recap. More for my future self who may look back at this than anyone else, but all viewers and readers are welcomed.

After 4th of July (2022) weekend, my grandmother that raised me when I was very young passed away. I went to the wake and funeral, and then got sick with COVID two days after that. It beat the crap out of me, to say the least. A few weeks later, my mother went into the hospital for a very extensive surgery. She had to go back two more times after that because she developed an infection, and that happened over the span of early mid-August to early mid-September. My sisters and I took turns seeing about her, and we had some help from family too. My mother is doing better, but not completely infection free as of my typing this. She is still being seen to by me and my two sisters. And in the middle of all the mess of my mom being back and forth in the hospital, I went from being PRN (practically unemployed) to having two jobs as of this post. So yeah, life's been busy for me. Not complaining, just stating how it is.
