Blessing Update: "THANK YOU"
Last week this arrived from Peg T.  


And John delivered this to the art show on Saturday!  

Updates...

I took last week off from blogging so I could finish a larger painting.
"Rosa, Master Potter"
framed 20x23    NFS
I just entered her in the PA Watercolor Society International Show.  I have been wanting to paint Rosa for a while.  I met her at the Waterford Fair.



Lititz Art Show Update:  Saturday was the first show I have done all year.  I felt actually giddy at set up.  Linda lined up helpers so I would not get overly tired.  I wanted so badly to HUG everyone who I knew but was warned to only fist pump (not the same!).  Life felt normal for a few hours.  I had a good show and while it was hot (my weather) the storms held off.  Great day.

Hanging Ideas:  Two more clients shared photos of their collections.
My "When Life Gives You Lemons" painting looks perfect above this cabinet.

And check out this perfectly laid out staircase collection!

I am really into our Lancaster County plowed fields right now. I am loving the greens against the dirt. The patterns, the birds flying overhead.


Here is a beautiful collection of mini original paintings from a client in NJ.  She has more, but rotates the seasons!  One set of nails but a fantastic way to exhibit them.  Just giving you some ideas!!

Blessing Update: From Hamza and Tinishia I received this assemble and paint ice cream truck. Part of a running joke where I am always looking for trucks for him to increase his fleet at Greco's Ice Cream! They brought a wildflower garden and fresh flowers for Linda   AND treated us to ice cream! These two are special people.



The next two blessings showed up with no name attached, so I have no idea who sent them.
A great T-shirt…



And a beautiful huge sunflower was left on my porch.

Bucolic...green grass with blue skies and a wonderful farm!

 I realized how many green grass with blue skies I have available!
This is a beautiful painting waiting for a special spot on your wall.

Bucolic

Bucolic: Ideal country life Part of my big sky series. I wanted to play with the shape, long and thin but a bit of field, the large scope of the farms and then that big sky from Lancaster County, PA.

Health Update:  Yesterday I "rang the bell"  meaning I finished all 28 radiations.  Now I rest and heal.  My radiation burns (actually big open sore) need treatment 4x a day.  It will probably get worse over the next 2 weeks then start healing.  I sit gingerly.  Not even sure about walking at this point...
On my bell ringing day so many friends wanted to come watch but they only let one person in. so Linda did a video...turn up your volume!

Blessing Update:   Before we left home Linda suggested we celebrate with lunch at Ciro's.   I casually walk in and and ask for a table for 2.   The owner, Tony Ciro walks me into their little side room into a  surprise lunch by friends the Woodruffs and the Linns.  I walked in to ringing bells and to balloons.  The owner Tony Ciro greated me, and was so gracious and is also a cancer survivor.  

We get home and find a beautiful bouquet of flowers from friends the Hildebrands.
The cat was already ours!

And later in the day friends the Garners dropped off a fruit basket.

All the love and blessings and prayers and support over 7 long months has been overwhelming.  In August I will need to make big decisions about surgery so keep the prayers coming.  I am greatful to you ALL.

2023 Landscape #24

 mini original watercolor    $225.

Green grass and blue skies from upstate NY.

Health Update:  Monday was my 27th radiation.  While I am trying to smile through it all I will say today was a painful day with the burns.  Getting the radiation does not hurt but the after effects are now getting a bit wicked. It took a while for the Tylenol to kick in.

Tuesday is my last one!! I get to ring the bell.
