“Never Alone”
Painting Acrylic on Canvas

2003
My “Never Alone” painting has always been one of my most popular pieces. It’s true that blue is a soothing color and many people like it, but I believe that it is the sentiment that draws people in. As I sell a lot of this image around the Holidays, it makes me pause and say a prayer of gratitude for the life I now have. I also ask for comfort to those who will not be having a “happy” Holiday season.
I know what it is like to have Christmas marred by pain and suffering. When I was 10 years old, my father killed himself just a few short days before the magical event. I can still see the carefully wrapped gifts under the tree as we gathered after the funeral. I remember thinking that I didn’t want anything ever again for Christmas. For many years the Holidays were just a painful reminder of what was missing and what would never be. It wasn’t until I had my own child that the joy was brought back to the Season. Her zeal and delight in all things festive is infectious. It was her energy that helped heal me.
So for those that mourn loss or those that are hanging on to the sick, I wish that you feel that you are never alone…Whether you believe in God, angels or just the healing energy of others…
