It was very hard for me to let some of my first paintings go to other homes. Although most artists love seeing the red tag that marks a painting sold, it can also be like seeing your children grow up and leave the nest. So much energy goes into a painting that there is a feeling of emptiness when they are sold or gifted to someone else.
Today I'm traveling down through memory lane recalling some of the paintings that are now in new homes. Some have recently left and others have been gone for a while. What helps ease the pain of separation is knowing these paintings are hopefully bringing others happiness.
Here are just some of my "children" that have left the nest.
