"Memories" |
Set up outside starting painting, raw canvas clipped over a 2 x 4 foot wood board. |
The last few good flowers |
I am sharing a
personal story today. About a week ago
my wonderful greyhound Maggie passed away.
She was a retired racing greyhound we adopted when she was finished
racing. Maggie was a sweet and wonderful
pet. We lost her to a stroke.
The day she passed away I had to work third shift at the
hospital, and needless to say it was a long sad night for me. In the morning when I was headed home I was
in tears because I knew it would be the first day in a long time that I would
not be greeted at the door with a happy dog waiting. When I got home I opened the door and on a
table waiting for me was a jar full of carnations and chocolates, my husband
had set it up so I would still come home to a welcome feeling, he is a very
thoughtful man and I really appreciated it.
Today the week
flowers were wilting, a few blooms still hanging in there. I separated the good ones and set up my
canvas and paints outside. Spent the day
painting what I call
“Memories”. Thought I
would share the out come, a 4 foot by 2 foot still life.
