Excellent tribute...and what awesome blue colors Excellent image as always Had my surgery am home hurting and sore Dr's want me to have chemo but I think I am going to wait awhile and get my strength back.... Love this Hugs Susan~

What a wonderful tribute to your late husband. I am sure he would want you to carry on with your art as it lets you express your feelings and this surely shows that.

As always, all images from you are so full of emotion, of heart.. you always put all of you in them and this one is no exeption.. maybe the most emotional one so far. I complete what BBarbs said... LJ is not only shinning down on you but through you... and this is how things will continue to be, you and him, together anyhow.

A beautiful heartfelt image!

My goodness, Carol, what a touching image! I can imagine how profound your grief is and the eyes of this beautiful lady are sad in mourning. I've been thinking of you and LJ a lot and want you to know that though far away, I am there for you in whatever way I can be!

you are in my thoughts, Carol... this is a beautiful and sensitive tribute.

Carol, I'm so very sorry that I have not been able to post a return message to you because shortly after I posted I recieved a call that they were taking my mother to the hospital, since arriving in her home town I have had the honor to have saved her life 3 times in a now, but she is still in grave danger, as her kidneys are only a hair line open at present. My mother has never seen any of my attempts at digital art and I wish she could. The scene I posted of the young lady awash upon the shore seemed to stay on my pc for many a moon and every time I tried to post it I was hearing a big "no" not yet, a special time would come and then send it to a very special person, I had no idea it would be for you my dear. I am not able to post anything for awhile since I am at a library just to get on line for a few moments and just had to write you since you have been on my heart. Wishing you the best always Linda

Dear Carol, I am still in shock over this time thinking about all the wonderful artwork and memories we shared together on the site. It's a pleasant feeling inside to have known such a passionate couple who shared with us the art of compassion and love like only you could. It's with me when I go to work and there when I fall asleep. When I'm in a crowded place or alone in my thoughts, I think of the bliss you two shared and the loss you have endured in the physical world. I have lost those whom I have loved very much, but none have ever been my soulmates or my lifetime companions that I held an incredibly intimate level. I perhaps never will find my soulmate and cannot understand the true feeling you are going through, but just the same, my heart is with you in this difficult time and I wish you the very best to find your path with L.J.'s guidance from above. It's extremely tragic and sudden, but with time the very positive aspects of the time you shared will ease the pain and to know that you were part of something much bigger than this world could ever know. God bless you and your families, Carol, and I know you will get through this and to carry on your legacy which means so much to us all. Huge hugs -David-

Carol, you definitely have the right of it. LJ would want you to continue on with your art and never doubt for a moment that he still sees every image you create. Take care, sweet lady. - Trisha
