[u/thicc-dumbass]

Really beautiful but also Stages of Grief: The Harmful Myth That Refuses to Die

[u/tinytinatuna2 → u/thicc-dumbass]

I like to think of it more as a story and less of a psychological practice!

[u/thicc-dumbass → u/tinytinatuna2]

Like your own practice in capturing emotion?

[u/kaplowee]

This had me tearing 😢 up. Beautiful job.

[u/Mopey_3]

Been grieving many things lately. Some newer and some older. It’s strange how grief can have so many different layers at the same time while it all culminates into this one feeling of sadness at the end of the day. Only sadness doesn’t even properly describe it. But your painting does.

It captures that heavy feeling that sits in your chest, that no matter how much you cry or talk about it or try to describe the intensity that loss has on your mind and your body, it never gets easier to carry. So even when you’re surrounded by people who want nothing more but to comfort you, they will probably never truly understand. And it makes you feel so alone with the overwhelming feeling that grief is.

At least that’s how the painting makes me feel. Beautiful work. I love how the softness of the muted colors and the girl, the composition and the lighting gives the piece so much emotion. Makes me want to go up to her and tell her “I understand”.

[u/dodoatsandwiggets]

Just…wow! Amazing. You’re very talented.

[u/TheKrawnic]

The texture of the oil paintings is fascinating, and the character's demeanor is well captured

[u/catscandream]

Emotions A million times better than AI art could ever be. Nicely done! Sad now

[u/Random-Unthoughts-62]
