Death and the Aftermath
12" x 36"
​Acrylic

I started thinking about this concept after the death of my cat, Shadow, but didn't paint it for a few years for some reason.

The lines represent different aspects of our life... thoughts, emotion, routine... whatever you want them to be.  A death can throw these parts of your life into chaos for a while, but they eventually return to normal.  However, sometimes the pain lingers.

​If you follow the lines, you'll see they line up with their starting positions except for two of them.  This switch represents the lingering change a death can leave behind in your mind.
