Before life changed directions...I just knew I wanted to paint to try to put the beauty I saw in nature on canvas, so I took an oils class back in the late 90s. I probably learned the most when I thought I'd tackle a portrait of Michael Jordan! Now many years later, I've settled on watercolors.
I figure each day I have so many pockets of energy and now use them doing things that please me. When I paint, I lose track of time and forget everything.
A hobby or interest of some kind can keep us going in a positive direction, I think. We all can find ours if we look.
Thanks for your kind words!💞🎨

I enjoy reading your messages..you are truly a survivor, in fact we are all survivors and doing everything we can to stay in our world and lives longer. My parents were both holocaust survivors and my mom always told me, never give up on hope because where there’s life there’s also hope, don’t lose your sense of humour and try not to take yourself too serious. I feel if these words of advice kept her alive for five years in a prison camp then I’m listening… one more thing, she always said we can take a lot more in our lives than we ever thought possible…if someone told me a few years ago that I would go through a global pandemic and also get lung cancer twice in the past two years I would have said that I could never have survived such a thing but I was wrong and I’m still hanging in there, amen.
