This painting means so much to me. Every day for me is a struggle with my illness. I have no choice, but to take prescription pain medicines every day so that I can not only function as an artist, but a mother and wife as well. I love flowers and they are one of my favorite subject matter to paint and tattoo. I get many requests for flowers because of my use of bright colors. I had always thought opium poppies were the rich red ones, but it turns out they are a soft purple or purplish pink. It was a very big decision for me to choose to take this sort of medication after all the other procedures and medications either didn't help or made it worse. Knowing that I must continue to take them every day, otherwise I risk a very horrible withdrawal and then am back at square one, is a really big deal and as happy as I am now it still weighs very hard on me.

My favorite medium is water color, but I wanted to add a little dimension to it (and I am a sucker for sparkle). This is 18" x 24" water color, ink, Sharpie, enamel, and glitter on water color paper.
