my collection grows...

First up is definitely my favorite, from Sarah Purnell, I love this piece it speaks to me so much about loss... (size about 20x24)

I love the use of the spanse of negative space, and just in case you did not appreciate it enough...here is a close up:

And a piece which I wish was in my collection:

from the talented and lovely Emily B...
