Impermanence: In Bloom.Cat Skull and Poppies (4 of 7).Loss strikes hard because we love deeply. It matters not whether a loss is recent, there will always be a space left behind where a loved one once resided. At first, the edges of those spaces are jagged and unforgiving, a fresh wound at every moment, but over time, those edges dull and though we can remember loved once with joy enough to overcome to sadness, the space where they lived still remains. We hold those spaces safe and sacred..Cat skull and poppies. The poppy is one of the most well-known and most-loved wildflowers in fhe world. While many poppies produce a variety of active phytochemical substances, only the papaver somniferum is the particular variety of poppy known for opium, poppy seeds, and the alkaloids processed into hydrocodone and oxycodone. Poppies represent many concepts around the world: fertility, peace, sleep, hope and resilience, remembeance and sacrifice, but particular varieties of deep red poppies also symbolize death..Watching these little skulls come to life on the black paper feels a lot like watching them being built out of smoke..ORIGINAL: 2.5”x3.75” gouache on black cold press watercolor paper, floated in a 5”x7” mat: $45......#gouache #cat #catskull #skull #wildflowers #poppy #poppies #skullsandflowers #flowers #loss #death #remembrance #grief #aceo #atc #tinypainting #dailypainting #illustration #gothic #gothicillustration #gothicarthttps://www.instagram.com/p/CMBHUIXBuOW/?igshid=1gt5jxs4kzd4s -- source link
