Something Wonderful!


I was so tired; I wasn't even going to enter this competition.  But then, I felt better and did.  Time passed.  The internet service wasn't working on our computer, so I had to check my email at my daughter's house.  And, there it was...."Congratulations, your painting, 'Two Flutes', is a winner in our 'Over 60' competition and will be published in the March, 2013 issue of The Artist's Magazine."  It was hard to contain myself!  To actually be published in a national magazine!  One of my goals and dreams...

Alexis, my grand-daughter, is the subject.  Alexis, times two.  She is playing the little flute her mom bought for her in Jerome.  The music is lilting over the Verde Valley.  The sun is bright and hot.  Lots of contrast.  I had so much fun painting her hair, with loose bold strokes.  I guess it's my very best painting.

Through all this cancer stuff, art has meant survival and hope for me.
