This is wonderful. You certainly deserve your win. "When you're gone" is outstanding. To me personally it shows someone visually (and therefore metaphorically) unravelling after the end of a relationship - or perhaps it reflects the thought and place of that person slowly dissolving in your mind.

Thanks so much @thecryptofiend The fact that you could understand her unravelling really means a lot to me and is exactly what I tried for with this piece, realizing that without that special someone, you can come undone :)
Great. I notice that you sold it. Was it hard to let go of it? You pour so much into a work of art and then you have to give it to someone else. It is something that I have always wondered.
It was VERY VERY hard to let go of.... I have an extremely hard time letting go of any of my paintings, like sure its great someone liked them enough to purchase them and hang them in their home, but each piece I paint is a part of me and my life, they are my babies..LOL so it is hard.
but when you find someone that understands the piece and really loves it, at the same time its like letting her be adopted by a family that you know will love her like you do, so in the end its a bittersweet experience :)
I can only imagine.
Sooooo very true! They are like children. Hard to birth and difficult to let go.
