Innocence Accepted

Created for a foster family grieving the loss of their foster child who did not survive their return home at 11 months old, this deeply moving 24" × 30" original acrylic painting carries prayers for healing broken hearts. Soft celestial blues and ethereal whites wash across the canvas, evoking the peace of heaven's embrace. Tender blush pinks and gentle lavenders speak to the innocence of new life, while luminous gold accents shimmer with the promise of eternal joy. The palette intentionally blurs the line between earthly sorrow and heavenly celebration—reminding us that though we grieve here, the angels are rejoicing. The underpainting contains scripture related to families and healing from grief and loss. Glass bead embellishments catch the light, creating a shimmering, otherworldly quality that reflects heaven's glory. This piece resonates deeply with those who have lost an infant, experienced stillbirth, or loved a child through fostering. Each brushstroke was laid with prayer for healing—for birth parents, foster families, and all who carry the weight of losing a precious little one. *Original commissioned piece - Embellished reprints only available* **Medium:** Handpainted acrylic on canvas **Original Size:** 24" × 30" **Finish:** Clear coat gloss varnish **Embellishments:** Hand embellished with glass bead and thick gloss medium for shimmering reflection and texture
