My Love of Painting.....A gift for Mom

Hello Dear Friends!!
I am hoping YOU are having a good day!!


I wanted to share with you today a painting I did for my Mother when she was leaving Denver, Colorado a few years back to come and live with us here in Georgia. There is
a bit of glare in the pictures....so you may see me taking pictures..lol!

I was busy preparing her room for her and wanted her to feel right at home. My husband had left for Denver to help her clear out her apartment and fly back to Georgia with Mom.
I had a few days to myself...which was just what I needed to paint her a picture for her room.
I really did not have an idea what I was going to paint. I thought well I will paint a sky with some
clouds in it and go from there.
Soon I could imagine an ocean
with waves and maybe a little storm brewing...
I could picture the sun setting and a lavender hue in the distance.

I pictured a beach with some waves coming in...

I pictured these things in my mind as I painted and
I hoped that my Mom would like it!

When I showed my Mom what I had
painted just for her....She said to me
" I always wanted a picture of the ocean"
Did you really paint that?

Yay
She was pleased....

As you can see I am not a pro at this but my love for painting does not distract me from
trying.

See what you can do....If you have never painted before...you never know what
hidden talents you may have. 

Paint for fun and don't worry if you think it is not good...
  As they say Beauty is in the eye of the beholder!!  


 Love  to You All!!

Susan

    I think any time one creates with and from Love, one creates beauty. Nicely done!

    I'm not a pro at what I do either but I think occasionally people enjoy seeing what I create and I'll bet your mom more than enjoyed seeing your creation. I'll bet she treasures all the love that went into this.

My Beautiful Sam Passed Away This Afternoon......

Image
Hello Dear Friends, With an extremely heavy heart I tell you that I have lost my little friend tonight. I thought he was having hairball problems and so my husband and I brought him to the vets late this afternoon. Upon arrival Sam was gasping for breath and they rushed him into a room and gave him ogygen. The nurse asked us if she could take an x-ray to see what was going on. When the nurse came back to the room she told us the devastating news, that Sam had a tumor next to his heart and that his lungs were filled with fluid. I was just floored....I am still in shock. We had Sam for 4 1/2 years and he was...well how do I explain to you the love that he gave us....he was always there for me....he would lie by my side in bed when I was ill and after two major surgeries....he would eat, have is water, and just stay with me. I always said he was a gift from God and he truly was. Tonight this is what I have learned.....even after my Sam has passed away he leaves this last gift   ....

Friends and Flowers

Hi Blogging Friends, I wanted to share this lovely bouquet of flowers that was brought to my door this afternoon. My dear friend Maggie sent these to me for my birthday.....they are so Beautiful and Maggie is an absolute doll to think of me. I know we all talk about our friendships here in blogland that we have found, and I know we appreciate each other very much. My life has changed so much in the last 9 years. I have had many surgeries and things going wrong physically which limited me quite a bit. Since 2003 I have not been able to drive anymore and that in itself was a big blow to me. I inherited a rare disease of the corneas in which I have had multiple surgeries for over the years, hence no more driving. Well I can go on but I will stop there. The real point in all of this is I have been lonely and needed somehow to connect with people and then I discovered the World of Blogging!!  WOW...I never dreamed that I would meet such loving and caring folks....
