Daily Artsy Paintings

Supports. Kristin Vestgard.

We can be deceived, sometimes, by social media and society’s talk of “friends” and “followers”.  How is it even possible to have over 500 friends?  I ask myself that sometimes when I look at my own personal profiles.  These past few years of traveling, in addition to this time since my mom’s diagnosis, has been an eye opening experience for me in my relationships.  These paintings by Norwegian born artist Kristin Vestgard remind me of those friendships that have proven the tests of time and miles.

They are the supporters, those friends that may not be valuable to our “networking” but are priceless in their tenacious love and loyalty.  I’ve found a renewed beauty in these friendships that persevere.  Theirs are the notes and texts that excite me these days, because I know the motivation behind them is simply a desire to connect and to check that all is well.  And if, for some reason all is not, these are the arms that will be the first to hold me up.
