Beautiful and devastating. Art, heart and soul. 👏

SLART, thank you for this story of one of your paintings. I've wondered! I love that you filed her nails. That is the essence of care. You knew something, to sleep so deeply. She was going to rest. I'm very moved by this beautifully written story.

Thank you Beth. She did everything for me, it was the least I could do. Although it’s a sad story, it’s bittersweet.

It's like that when someone so so dear to us does that impossible thing we will all do. Seems so impossible even after it happens.

You mean death? It’s a strange fate we all share.

That's right! And we like to forget that.

Absolutely, hence my forthcoming Exhibition: Memento Vivere
