My cat recently died and while I knew it was coming because she had an illness – it’s still, of course, really sad. It’s amazing what a difference a pet can make in your life and I really miss her. It’s so sad to come home and not see her there when I open the door, greeting me as she always did, every day. She taught me to really live in the present moment and appreciate what’s there in front of me. This is so important because for sure, it wont always be there.
RIP Jellybean, I’ll never forget you <3

This painting really fits what I’m going through right now. For a long time I’ve wanted to do paintings based on songs that I’ve written, but I didn’t feel like I had the ability. Finally, I feel ready to work on this one, it’s called ‘seasons always change’ and I wrote the song many years ago. This painting isn’t meant to be depressing, but it is meant to express a reality, as is the song that inspired it. I will be doing some paintings of Jellybean as well.
