Loss in Bloom: Bed of Petals

“Loss in Bloom: Bed of Petals" is a meditation on beauty born from what’s been left behind. At the center of the piece lies a delicate cat skull, cradled in full pink peonies—blooms at their peak, vivid and soft against the certainty of bone. Around them, subtle purple drips and glimmering illustrated sparkles create a sense of suspended time, as if the piece exists in that charged breath between farewell and transformation.

Set against a cool, dreamlike blue background, this painting hums with quiet ritual. Nothing here is accidental. Every mark, every bloom, every shimmer was placed with care and intention. The result is a moment frozen in softness and shadow—a sacred offering to the inevitability of endings and the strange beauty they leave behind.

I approach each painting as both a visual spell and an act of reverence. Bed of Petals emerged from that space. It’s not a memorial in the traditional sense—it’s a space for stillness, for acknowledgment, for witnessing the kind of magic that lives just under the skin of grief. The illustrated sparkles aren’t ornamental—they’re a recognition of spirit, a quiet nod to what lingers when form is gone.

Ideal for collectors of symbolic animal skull art, floral gothic imagery, or those who find resonance in art that honors the veil between worlds, this piece is both soft and haunting. It speaks to those who see loss not as emptiness, but as fertile ground—where memory grows strange and beautiful things.

Perfect for:

• collectors of animal skull and flower artwork

• lovers of ritual-inspired, magical realism

• those drawn to grief-informed spiritual art

• altar spaces, sacred corners, or shadowy walls that crave softness and depth
