Forgiving You

An Original Art Collection by Jen Carmiel

Forgiving You

I’d love it if you were generous.

I’d love it if you were kind.

I’d love you for your dependency 

if only I could find it. 

I’d love you for your friendliness

if you could spare the comfort.

I’d love to watch you give without

wanting something from it.

Jen Carmiel

These paintings were created while reflecting on the feeling of forgiveness. Forgiveness and the discomfort of changing are intertwined emotions for me.

A letter to my younger self

You and I, we are all just people. You want from me what I want from you.
Love, understanding, comfort when the rain pours.
And while I stumble through it, messy in all I do, I hope I always remember:
There is grace in trying again with you.

Honor Your Boundaries

Cats represent a symbol of boundaries & play. Living as your authentic self, making your life entirely your own.

Letting Go

With watercolor, you often have to work with (not against) your past decisions in order to move forward and make something beautiful.

Life seems to work the same way, doesn't it?
