Let’s Watch

“Let’s Watch”

It sounds corny, I know it. But I don’t care. It’s the truth: I miss cuddling.

At the end of a long stressful day, one of my favorite things to do when I was married was to hold my wife in my arms and just breathe together. Our heartbeats and our respiratory rhythm would sync up — a sign that, to me, everything would be okay. Somehow.

It’s been almost four years since I’ve experienced that and man I really do miss it. These days, one cope for me is to paint what I feel — or in this case of the painting “Let’s Watch,” I paint what I don’t feel but want to feel.

While I’ve produced a loving couple holding one another, I’ve also got their gaze set on this magnificent aura of geometric wonder — a rhythmic dance of spiraling shapes that aims to calm and soothe.

At the very center of it all is “hope” and “love”:

We all cope with loss in different ways. While I still struggle to make sense of how I got to where I am now, I try to keep my eye on that “hope” out there. Maybe one day, “love” will make a comeback. And… maybe it won’t. Either way, I’ll keep looking for hope in the maze of reality.

What gets you through long bouts of loneliness? Got any special ways of dealing with it? Tell me in the comments!

Meanwhile, as of this writing, “Let’s Watch” is still available for purchase here.

  2. Hi there! Quick question that’s totally off topic. Do you know how to make your site mobile friendly? My web site looks weird when browsing from my iphone. I’m trying to find a theme or plugin that might be able to correct this issue. If you have any recommendations, please share. Thanks!

  3. I’m now not certain the place you are getting your information, but great topic. I needs to spend some time studying more or understanding more. Thanks for fantastic info I was searching for this information for my mission.
