'Last Days of Winter'
Oil 6 x 6
It's been a rough week with my mother-in-law
Oil 6 x 6
It's been a rough week with my mother-in-law
being so ill and in the ICU. After a day spent at the hospital,
I came home emotionally depleted. I was sitting looking out the window
of the spare bedroom I use as my 'in-house' studio, and was thinking
what a gloomy, ugly day it was...then I saw that little strip
of snow on the top of the golden hill, and the russet color of the oak
leaves that have clung to the trees even with the incredibly high
winds we have had this winter. And hope entered my
heart again. I picked up my brushes and did this little
painting very quickly. It felt good to create something when
I felt like there was nothing left in me to give.
And I remembered to thank God again for this gift.

Mother Nature does a good job of "filling up our senses", doesn't she? Your creative cup was replenished as we can see by this lovely work.
It's a wonderful thing, how healing the creative process is. Especially those "quick" pieces that are tied so entirely to our moods and emotions ... necessarily completed while the conditions are just right, they're infused with life. It shows in this rich painting.
I'm right with you Claire. The rest of the week is to be sunny and warmer.
I'm so glad that you found this little respite from your burdens, Claire. Hope all is better and sunnier days are ahead soon.
