Day 51

Another photograph from my portfolio today. This is a particularly sad one for me for reasons not completely obvious in the image. This image was part of a project I did looking at life and death which helped me to deal with the death of my great Grandparents. I was incredibly lucky to have known them but dealing with death as an athiest is an incredibly painful thing. Although I get my taste in art from looking at paintings done by my Fathers, Father it was my Mothers, Mothers, Father that first taught me how to paint and gave me one of his own paintings. He was the person who first inspired me to love art. As part of this project I visited the graveyard where they are buried and photographed other graves in the beautiful graveyard. The Christmas baubles in this image were tied to a tree in the graveyard.
