My husband bought me a pack of Prisma pencils for my birthday in November. It was the best gift as it gave me an outlet to express my grief. I started out drawing apples:
Apple on a coffee cup
Apple on a lid
Apples in basket
Then I moved on to sketching my brother
Jonny Blue
Jonny in August
Inside My Head
After that I went on to random topics:
Bleeding Heart
Happy Butterfly
Putting the Pieces Back Together
WHY!
Creating art has been cathartic, helping me release emotions so that I can function. My brother's death is still raw and painful and my art reflects that.
