I love the way the pebbles glow and the way the paint shimmers when the light hits it.
I painted this one in my Art class a while back with my best friend.
I called it Meraki.
Meraki is a Greek word that does not exist in English.
Meraki means to do something with soul and with love. It means leaving something of yourself behind in your work.
This painting sits in my room and to me it represents the soul and love the two of us have invested into our friendship.
A long time ago me and my best friend agreed that, despite our many differences, and despite the distance that is now between us, we would not give up on our friendship even when life got difficult.
Even when life gets busy and we haven't talked in weeks I know that friendships such as these are far to rare and precious to let go.
It is the beauty of two people that decide not to give up on each other. Friendships such as these are priceless. And therefore, so is this painting.
