Dear friends. Thank you so much for your wonderful show of support on my last image "Forgive me Father." That image was made right from my heart and I was very moved by how it touched so many of you. Thank you for the many beautiful comments, faves, and even just for dropping in to have a look.
I follow up with "Saying Goodbye." It was hard to make an image to come even close to what I felt for "Forgive me Father" and I have no words to say that could come close to those that I wrote then, but hopefully they will be enough for both. I was trying too hard to make this image work, and after days of struggle I was almost ready to trash it. But then I just let go of my intentions, simplified the render, and let it be what it was telling me it wanted to be.
Letting go and saying goodbye; how often do we push these essential processes aside and live in denial of what has happened? But does it do us any good?... not for very long. Growth, and life itself, demands that we accept our losses. We grieve, we are miserable, but then we must move on.
What is lost to us now simply joins the never ending process of energy flow that permeates the universe. We materialize out of that energy flow for a while, live what we call life, die, and then we become part of the big cosmic flow again. It is not an end, nor a beginning, it just is.
---------------------------
I will be away on business for a week starting this Sunday and I will not be taking a laptop so I will be out of touch and not commenting but I will be thinking of you and I promise to try and catch up when I get back.
So I too say goodbye -for now- but unlike our fallen father heros - I will be back.
Blessed Be

Cool image, very nice work..
The circle is open but unbroken...
Very good picture.
I got such a fright when I saw the title:-)Thank goodness it was only the title of the image and not a real goodbye! Wonderful image filled with emotion, I can feel how much for yourself went into its creation.Beautiful words that went straight to my heart (Hug) Take care and we will 'see' you soon.
Roxy this is one of those times when the fewer words said the better. Your image is beautiful with a sad tone running through it that grips you. Letting go and saying goodbye to someone who was so dear to us is the hardest thing we will ever do and something we'll never get used to no matter our age. Your in my thoughts and prayers.
Sometime to say goodbye is indeed fact we have to accept, however hard it is and pain we feel. Thinking of you Roxy Hug
her facial emotion roxy is amasing hon, i can only imagine my friend what your going through right now, your image is awesome my friend and my prayers are with you and your family. god bless and lol steve
A fascinating picture my dear friend, I agree with your words and believe that we are all part of this energy that is part of a whole ... Bon voyage and best wishes!
Beautiful!!!
Sometimes saying goodbye is the hardest thing to do, but we do need to take a break for a moment to take care of other things. So we close by saying "I'll see you again." I felt a tremendous emotion while reading this, I could feel what you feel and for you to share this with a beautiful image is just like going in depth with your current situation. We'll be here, Roxy, waiting for you... until you come back.
Awesome!

Letting go is one of the hardest things. This is a lovely image. be safe in your travels!
"... then I just let go of my intentions, simplified the render, and let it be what it was telling me it wanted to be." Very often the results from such creative surrender over time become our favorite and inspiring works. In a similar manner the events in life beyond our control, when surrendered to, often evolve to be recognized as the most significant and transformative "turnings" along our journey. Life is an amazing and wondrous adventure .. but it hurts. Still, we must say "Yes!" to all that comes our way. The Universe does not make mistakes. What was ever "ours" will always remain so .. forms change but energy, once entwined, remains bonded in love and takes on new forms. In your own words: "It is not an end, nor a beginning, it just is." May you discover something bright and wonderful along your travels this week, Roxy! Until you return .. Terry
The artwork is so magnificent and stunning! Excellent work!
Very beautiful and moving render!
I can say that it does not get any easier, either. Very beautiful and moving render as well as a tribute to your father. Have a safe trip, Roxy!
Very beautiful and moving piece my friend! Letting go and moving on are probably the hardest things we have to face in life and never gets any easier but we must or our life becomes meaningless. You really captured the emotions in these last two images, heart felt work. Take care and see you when you get back!
Very touching and moving, Roxy, I'm so glad you didn't give up on it. Your words are so true and filled with the wisdom of one who had trod the path of loss and rememberence. You are in my thoughts. Blessed be. Hope you have a good trip, and I look forward to seeing your wonderful art when you return.
Somethings we can never say good bye too. Very emotional work Roxy!
Very moving piece Roxy. I hope your trip will be one that gives you some peace and carity of mind. I so understand your pain. Safe travels. Hugs Liz
Dear Roxy, I think the reason these last two images of your are two of your best ever is BECAUSE you let go and let the emotion move you. I think the best art is really inspired and not forced. The posing and emotion in this is wonderful. I am two days away from the 1 year anniversary of the death of a VERY close friend of mine. I was gifted with her presence and friendship for 9 short years and she touched me deeply. I will never be able to replace her nor forget her unconditional friendship. Thank you for this lovely image and beautiful thoughts. Safe journeys to you.
From the heart Rox we feel it! your images and your words convey the utmost heartfelt sentiments!! your right move on we must only then can healing occur ohtherwise we can be overly swallowed up in grief. Hope things go smoothly on your business trip Roxy!! take care friend!!!
