  • It is hard to accept. First thing is try to be kind to yourself and him. You will feel like you are mourning your memory of him but as best you can make the most of the current situation and find the new ways you can connect and share time or moments because these too will be in your past one day. A lot of what you used to seek from him, you will allow yourself to find elsewhere and it will be a different relationship, not better or worse just different.

    As for the life decision, if you have an opportunity to better your situation, if you feel you have the time and energy, it’s always worth it on the other side, because even the pursuit is enough to open you up to things you can’t even foresee now if you were to stay grinding away and it will eat at you and make you miserable if it’s truly that bad.







  • The palette of colours all fits except the blacks used in the mouth shadows and in the eyes and eyebrows, if this were shifted into the blue hue then it would be less noticeable. Then a bit more detail in the iris and pupils would help give that life you are seeking along with the eyebrow pose shifted ever so slightly as mentioned above, to make the eyes softer.

    It’s a great painting though, well executed on the light rendering and the palette chosen for the false colour concept.
