Letters of Courtesy, Friendship, and Affection

"Letters of Courtesy, Friendship, and Affection" Collage by Lani with old tintype and digital ephemera

I am working on a couple of illustrations for essays having to do with facing loss, accepting grief, and learning to love our ephemeral and changing natures a little more every day.  When I read the prompts (very moving essays) and as I began to work with these ideas with images, I discovered once again that grief and loss, when faced and even honored, have many gifts to give us. 

Stay tuned.
