Lila-Pearl VIII 'There's a starman waiting in the sky' (2016) Acrylic on canvas

2/3/2016

9 Comments

 
My darling husband Mark sadly passed away last summer on the 18th July 2015, the pain has been immense, and still is. Both myself and my daughter are missing him terribly. Our world has been shattered.

This is a portrait of my daughter Lila-Pearl with a painting of Mark and his ashes behind her. When Mark passed away I said I would never pick up a paint brush again as the thought of painting seemed so distant to me after such sadness. Almost six months to the day Mark passed I heard the sad news of David Bowie's death. David Bowie has been a huge influence Mark's life and as a result Lila-Pearl is now a fan too. Mark even requested Bowie songs to be played at his funeral. After hearing the news I finally felt the urge to paint again. Bowie's music will continue to live in our hearts forever along with our love for Mark.
