After hearing about my Aunts illness, my thoughts drifted to the more stark shadows of death, slowly extending towards us all. The shadows are all around us, knowing not when, how or how many will be the number for our demise. The light is a constant, yet ever shifting leading us to seek more light, being ever aware of the shadows.
My Aunt died last week and this painting is a tribute to her laughter, and joy for life. She never let on she was extremely ill, knowing that the shadows were there, yet seeking the light of everyone.
