ALL IS WELL oil on canvas, 10"x8"

My mother-in-law, the sweet little lady I painted on June 30, passed away on Jan. 22 and we were gone to the Rio Grande Valley for over a week. We've been home for several days, now, and I've been back painting the past few.

This is a study I did and I'm now working on a big painting (48"x36") of the same scene, but I'm not finished with it, yet.

I'm also needing a bigger studio. I've looked at several places to rent, but... I'm now considering building a studio--well not me building it, but having someone build it for me. I'll let you know what I decide to do.

Ann, my condolences to you and your husband.

I really like the warmth and sense of nurture or protection in this study.

Take care,
Dar

Thank you, Rob. She was so ill for so long. Even though it was hard for all her family, it was indeed a blessing.

Hi Ann,

I just discovered your blog. Your paintings are simply lovely. I love the expressive brush strokes.

I'm so sorry to hear of your loss.
