This bouquet was the last thing I painted before everything changed.
Our son was born in September. Best birthday gift ever!
A week before he arrived, we lost our cat. I haven’t found a way to put those two things in the same sentence, so I’m leaving them here side by side instead.
Found some mushrooms in the grass on a walk as Inspiration.
It’s my birthday today, which feels like the right moment to look back. September gave me more than any month ever has, and took something too.
