Countless Tears

$110.00

Hand Painted Canvas. 24”x48”. Painted with Gouache.

One of the things that I noticed while I stayed in New York the week my aunt got brain surgery and we waited for her to open her eyes again, praying, crying, hoping, praying some more, I noticed how the sky looked just as sad as we were at the realization that she would no longer be opening her beautiful eyes again. It has been a whirlwind of tears this week, not only from us but from what seemed to be heaven as well. The next morning after her passing, the sun came out again. The first time since this all began, it felt like. Even though this has been one of the absolute hardest moments of my life, it has also been the most rewarding, getting to see the fruits of her labor. God is working in the lives of those who were around her and used her as a beautiful instrument to help others reach His kingdom. This painting is a representation of all the emotions I was feeling while I looked out of the window of that hospital room. There was pain, tears from everyone around who loved her so much, the sky was sorrowful, and there was this sense of loneliness that was left over. But even still, there was glimmers of hope. And though the end result wasn’t exactly what we had hoped for, the sun still came out the next day, and there was still hope for the future of those who were around her and the impact that she would still have in those lives, even after her last breath.
