I have mentioned before that I name most of my pieces after poems. I felt like this specific poem was calling out to me and matched this painting so perfectly. It is an excerpt from a longer piece by Danielle Doby:
"I am the reason you have eighteen different smiles. One for when he walks into the room. I am every penny you ever wished on. The silence that stands between you and a sunset. The tingle you feel when your hand fits perfectly in the cusp of another's.
I am laughter at 4 a.m. on the kitchen floor. the reason you choose sunflowers over tulips. the rhythm of rain that plays the soundtrack to your perfect Sunday morning. I am the tears that stain your satin pillow. the fire in your belly when you speak the truth. the deep exhale when you hear the words "hey, me too."
I am the only thing that breaks just to get bigger. I am your heart. and I'm here to make you feel something. " Buy her book here
I think this piece shows the strength of your heart through the ups and downs of life and I'm quite proud of it.
