1195. Riley

 Riley was our friends' sweet dog who sadly crossed the Rainbow Bridge before Christmas.  She was so gentle, and loved to play with her friends and to chase wildlife.  Her family misses her.

1105 Morning Walk

 

Even the weeds or wildflowers make a walk on city streets more enjoyable.

1058 He Loves Me

 

It's hard for me to believe that it's  been almost a month since I posted a painting.  The summer has been very busy with company, out of town visits, and of course gardening.  

My husband knows how much I love flowers and he buys a bouquet for me every week without fail.  The flowers he gave me were my reference for this painting, and I can't help but remember as a small child I would pull the petals off of a daisy, quietly chanting "He loves me, he loves me not."  I wonder if kids do that these days.  Everything is so different now.

951 Without a Care in the World

I painted this happy little painting while in Florida for a month long get-away from the cold weather.  It was before we knew about the Corona virus and when we didn't have a care in the world.  It was such a wonderful feeling to have no obligations and no stress, a rarity.  My, how life has changed.

We are so lucky that we have a house, people to help us, and good health.  But still we worry because there is so much to worry about.  I often think that this is a test of our humanity (and definitely our patience)  and a very strong message to slow down, appreciate what we have and be kind to one another.
