Hi My art Stop Fans!
I am sad I haven't been able to post any new paintings lately. We like many others had the H1N1 at our house last month. It has been busy with our 3 kids. Kord and Konner are both in college now but somehow that doesn't change a Moms job too much. Kole is still in grade school and I have been the lead volunteer teacher for a kindergarten class who did not have any parents that could do it. I have really enjoyed working with that age. I hope someday to work with some older students but things will happen when they decide to. So that brings me back to what I plan on doing next with my art work. I am thinking of having a big sale and selling all of my originals! There I said it! I currently have most of my artwork hanging everywhere I can in my house! I love looking at them. They are very special to me and each one has its own story and special memory. Some include meeting new friends and other artists. One artist friend of mine (Peggy Chun) taught me to go forward into this scary place were artist are afraid someone won't like our work because being able to pay the mortgage or not is even scarier. She is in heaven now (A.L.S. Lou Gerhrics disease) and we all are still learning from her.
My son Kole took her book, Watercolor cat to share with his 4th grade class just last week. She kept painting as she lost movement in her right then left hands and painted with her teeth! Then after being put on a ventilator for the rest of her life she painted with the computer program ERICA with her eyes! When her eyes couldn't work scientist came to her home and put electrodes on her head and she painted by silently singing in her head or just thinking beautiful thoughts! That painting in the book is one of my favorites! What she has to teach us all about never ever giving up is the best lesson of all! Thank you Peggy Chun. I love you for that and for the love you gave to me the day I met you. I will try to carry on that same love and teach others no matter what age to laugh and love and enjoy the art you make, even if you have mistakes. Some of the biggest mistakes become the best part of some paintings! I hope I can project some of her happiness of art to the world as well. And I hope to share more art with you soon!
