My Yin and My Yang A drawing for the time I had with two very special dogs. This was a daily scene in my life. They were always there, keeping me balanced in ways only dogs can do. Although life has moved on and I embrace every change, there will always be an irreplaceable spot in my heart for those two! #drawing #coloredpencil #prismacolor #pencildrawing
‘25 Nonhuman teachers and me
💐 A longer explanation… I started drawing this over a year ago, while grieving a very bad loss. It was meant to express the physical pain I felt in my chest and throat—intense, tight, hard to breathe. I stepped away from it for a long time. Eventually, it came to represent the beautiful things that grew from that same experience—freedom through perspective, clarity, drive, and optimism. Bad things that happen do not own you. I know it’s easy to feel stained, and some bad things will never make sense. But I try to view pain as a sort of checkpoint, to propel me forward, and also to remember how far I’ve come. And I’ve come very far. I continue to align with my best self. Importantly, I maintain my sense of humor…laughter is great relief for the chest 😉 I hope this, although deeply personal, somehow resonates. 14”x17” colored pencil on paper, with acrylic paint touches. #pencildrawing #prismacolor #coloredpencils #art

“Friendship” isn’t enough of a word. It’s a privilege to have nearly 20 years of memories with you. Laughter first brought us together, and we recognized we needed each other ever since. We were on a very similar journey, and I credit you for teaching me so much. Our perspectives balanced each other. We talked each other through so many problems, without judgement. We believed in each other before we could believe in ourselves. You gave gifts and encouragement freely, without hesitation. You were always making the most of every second, looking forward to the future, and loved exploring new places with me. And you kept me smiling…I always left your presence feeling significantly better than before. You did this to all of us. Caroline, you beautiful soul, you’re always going to be with me. Bruce and I will see you again one day.🦋
