Such lovely work! You painted the earth so well that I felt as if the flower would pop out of the screen or was legitimately sprouting out of the ground.

I can sense the isolation in the piece with how barren it is around the flower, while greenery and more life exists near but yet so far away from it.

I'm sorry to hear about wife, hope she can find a healthy way of managing her feelings that won't end up hurting you or herself. I hope things will better for you both!
