Out of the Darkness

My heart was heavy with sadness and I found it difficult to paint after the recent passing of my beloved mother.  I realized that I was holding on to her to tightly and I could not say goodbye.  I needed a way to let go. In my studio one evening, I began to experiment with my watercolors. I imagined my Mom leaving the earth plane and eventually walking into the light. I felt instant relief during the process. This painting is the result of my effort.
