I pretty much keep my personal life and family out of my blog, probably more because I am a private person; I don't think they mind one way or the other. I have absolutely the greatest family. They usually don't make visual art, but they do make music and joy and acts of goodness. They are my biggest fans and supporters. My wonderful husband died last week and my world seems very quiet and almost empty. It would be wrong not to speak of it. I showed him this painting of St. Vincent Court; it was the last painting I got to share with him. But who knows? Maybe he sees plenty of things from another vantage point. Maybe he hovers around me and shines in the colors. Remember to treasure your lives and your loved ones and leave the world better than you found it.
My sincere condolences to you Barbara.. it is very hard to face the emptiness, but we have to do it with strength. I am sure he is with you in spirits, will connect to you through your creativity.Take care.
ReplyDeletePadmaja, thank you for your kind words and thoughts.
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy you posted this piece Barbara. It's a favorite, and I'm glad you got to share it with David. I'm so sorry about the emptiness now, and love your thoughts...
ReplyDeleteOk, I had know idea. Going through your posts backwards I was guessing a parent or a pet. What a slam Barbara. What an incredibly sad time for you and your family. And what a beautiful painting.
ReplyDeleteB, I know he was immensely proud of you and I'm glad he got to see this beautiful painting. AWK
