This painting I did scared my family.  The kids asked me to throw it away because it looks scary.  It symbolizes a lot of things for me and was a great way to release those feelings.  My Dad who I absolutely adore, passed away about four years ago and I'm not close with my Mother.  His passing has changed me forever.  After he passed I felt so lost and vulnerable to the world.  I've always been super independent and capable and even though I'm a happily married grown 40 year old woman, I still feel like a solid piece of my heart is missing.  I guess any girl who is close to her Dad probably feels the same way.  Dad's are so important to their daughters!  ...miss you Daddeeoo :)
