A Painting a Day



HAPPY MOTHERS DAY to all of you out there! I woke early this morning at four and have been continuous praying for the Tögel family. Conni's mom and dad had just landed in Germany for a visit and her dad was rushed to the hospital. I am not totally clear on exactly what, but think it was a blood vessel issue in the head. PLEASE keep them in prayer so far from home...altho Germany was their home until a year ago.

I have been in Dallas the past few days, so not here painting or listing or doing my blog...but spending time with my mom and dad. Wish there was a manual for getting old and guidance for all the decisions we face. Our society has changed so much with families moving so far from each other and everyone working to keep up with our hunger to buy more and have better. I would love to have my parents living with us. My household is not quite as tight and neat as my mom's but I run it very close to how she runs hers...and it would be comfortable. I grew up with a grandmother that lived with us six months out of 12 and it was very normal. Are we not suppose to care for each other in old age? I keep informing my younger two they better decide, but I will be one place or the other! My parents would never move out of Dallas.

Painting.... back on subject. The one above I finished on Thursday with a nod from Charlene...thank you! Using a new technique for canvas prep with Golden Acrylics wiping with a cloth around the sides etc... and then the inner painting is all in Holbein Oils. Very striking in person...I do not think the photograph does it justice...speaking of photographs...I have killed the threads in my camera connector. I have to pick up a card reader for the cannon EOS 20D I have. Meanwhile I may have to use our small Sony to get buy. Mailing the camera out means it disappearing for a month or more.


God Bless the Mothers! with LOVE to mine! She is the absolute best!

Grace,
Laurie
