Here is the completed version of Home. It was a housewarming gift to two dear friends. I needed to wait to post it in full until I'd gifted it. I meant to post more pictures of other works in progress but life happened--
Another sweet friend passed away suddenly yesterday. It was unexpected, and I had to relay the heartbreaking news to a group of his friends this morning. It sucked. I'm so done with grief. Three dear friends in one year feels like more than we can take. I'm beginning to feel nervous about answering the phone. Please keep his family in your prayers, they are reeling from the loss.
Loving your beautiful picture Catherine.
ReplyDeleteTotally understand how you feel, life is so fragile. Happy PPF, Annette x

DeleteSorry to hear about your friend. Life does suck - often, that is the hard part about being a human - the loss and suffering. Your art is so happy and light, filled with all the good things life has to offer - that is also part of being human. Thank -you for being so generous in all you share here.
ReplyDeleteThank you for being so generous with your encouragement. Sometimes I think that's why I choose happy colors and fond moments to paint--it counters the yucky.
