Wearing My Heart On My Head
Wearing My Heart On My Head
by Heather Whiffin
This painting started life as a doodle with a gel pen, before very thin acrylic paint was applied in blue and pink tones. This is not professional by any means but is an expression of the emotions/feelings about childlessness that have sometimes been hidden, or sometimes openly shared but carried with me for many years. Sharing this opens up insecurity about fear of ridicule for the amateur nature of my artwork, but I appreciate it is important to acknowledge the challenges I have faced and let them be part of who I am.
