May today be a fresh beginning.
Be kind and loving to yourself.
If you can't forgive "them", it is okay.
Forgive yourself.
Maybe more will follow.
Maybe not.
But, please, start by forgiving yourself.

Painted during the 2019 Easter season of contemplation and renewal, Forgiven, acknowledges mistakes, efforts to make amends and invites forgiveness for self where things cannot be made right.

It is impossible to appreciate the beauty of the world when the focus is on self-condemnation. This painting is an invitation to walk through life free to embrace the present.
