"Green at Heart" 8x10 Art Print by Whitney Marks medium acrylic paint

I sat down on my bathroom floor with an assortment of differnt colored paints . There was no planning involved for this painting. We were quarantined for what seemed like a lifetime . My sister , bother in-law and uncle were fighting Covid 15 minutes away from where I was and I couldn't be there to help them . I sat there with my little family safe in our little home. so stressed , scared and painted this green heart. I felt like I had known so much about life and nothing at all . Planting trees and learning about the medicinal properties of mushrooms was how this image came to to be . Worrying about my family, myself and the world during the first harsh wave of Covid was very difficult. I used painting as a way to cope . The very person who inspired me to create art, my uncle .. always encouraged me to keep learning and to keep creating passed away from covid a few weeks later . He actually left me all of his art supplies and I cherish them all to this day. I am continuing my art journey and a part of him will always be in every art piece I ever create 💚🌿
