$165.00 (includes S&H) SOLD

One of the ways my husband and I have survived the isolation of this pandemic is to find new places to walk or hike near us. We have found parks we never knew existed and some places of singular beauty. This painting was inspired by one of our places, a path through prairie grasses. I take many pictures with my phone. Jon tries to be patient with this hobby. Somehow taking time to capture it seals the beauty into my mind. I can revisit it. I am fascinated with what this practice has done to heal my soul during this time of national upheaval. I carry a feeling of deep sorrow for the 275,000 deaths and those affected personally by it, for the weight of caring for these people by our medical personnel. The world feels heavy. And so, while we do what we can not to add to the burden, we must look for things that hold us up.

I had a period of deep suffering from illness. What it does is whittle away the things that don't matter. I have grown to realize that this was a gift. What I am left with, what really matters, are my relationships. What I am left with, what really matters, is the beauty we find in nature, in the arts, in the faces of those we love. What I am left with, what really matters, are the examples of kindness and selfless love shown to others. These are the things that hold me up. These are the things that connect all of us.


My 12 x 12" paintings are normally priced at $250, but because of the pandemic, I will be selling them for $165.00. This includes shipping & handling. This painting has SOLD.
