Description
Step out into the sun. Skies above, they radiate me.Lift up, carry the love. Do you know?
~ Without you by Oh Wonder
I really love how this turned out. It took me a long time to decide on what to do for the foreground. Well, it took me a long time to find the motivation to paint really. I sadly had to put my dog down, after 10 years of time together and 12-14 years of total life. It really turned my world around... Of course it's so hard to continue doing a lot of things, let alone finishing a quite colourful and happy piece of art.
This is a fox based on a fox I made with the fox creator on DA: twai.deviantart.com/art/Fox-Cr…

This art is amazing. I love the fur texture and all the details.
If I was honest this doesn't look happy to me The fox looks lost and lonely, almost looking wistfully at the butterfly. Even though it's sunny, it looks likes the skies are darkening into rain. Still, absolutely fantastic.
I'm really sorry about your dog. I lost my puppy keira at about 10 weeks old so I know how it feels.

Thank you!
Hm, now that you mention that I can kind of see it. Like he is trying to escape the incoming clouds. Wow, you've really changed my view of my own painting XDDDD It may have been a subconscious effect, since I was quite upset.
Losing a friend is never easy. I'm sorry to hear about Keira So young too.

I am very sorry for your loss. I've never had such an experience and I don't know how it feels, but sincerely wish you to recover from it. May your dog rest in peace...
I congratulate you for doing such an amazing painting despite the odds. We have to try tobe strong in order to be happy. At least this is how I see it. You've inspired me so much.

Thank you for your kind words. It is probably the hardest part of life.

To not let negativity take over me and destroy what I love. This is such a beautiful painting you made. If I was you, I would have probably left everything and turned into a walking pile of desperation and depression. And I do this even when it's a small, unimportant thing. So I can never be completely dedicated to anything and honestly, I hate it so much...

Try not to be so hard on yourself. I did finish this painting, and I love it, but I did let my situation affect me. After this painting, I was a mess. Death is hard. Grief is hard. No one can tell you how you're supposed to feel or what intensity of emotion is okay. You don't know what to expect or what to do. It's a hard part of life, maybe the hardest part. I'm not really that strong at all
I think everyone is different in their way of dealing with depression, anxiety, etc. It's a hard thing to explain to those who have not felt it. My best suggestion is to talk to those who have dealt with the same thing. I have one friend who I vent to about my anxiety whenever it's troubling me. She has dealt with it too, so she understands and is able to sympathize when others may write me off as being dramatic. Other than that, what has helped me is taking it slow. Day by day, and trying not to blame myself. Telling myself that this is not something I choose to deal with- it just is, so I should not also bog myself down with feelings of regret or guilt on top of anxiety. It doesn't always work, but that's why I go day by day
I hope this helps you in some way~
