In Memory
I originally wanted to have this piece of Eden and her dog Haru done on October 9th, on what would have been her 30th birthday. October was pretty hard on me, and opening the canvas forced me to think about her being gone and how difficult and lonely this year has and continues to be for me. Yesterday I gathered up the energy to finally start coloring it, and somehow, through all the pain and tears, I managed to finish it today.
I drew her with the boots from the dgm collection that came out in 2018, that she had really wanted to buy but was unable to because they didn't go up to her size. She did get the watch and bracelet from the collection though, so I drew her wearing those too. The flowers, aside from the center sunflower arrangement at the top of the arch, are a mix of plants native to Singapore and Australia. The banana gator and the whale are a couple of plushies that she had.
