Water Lilies

I find the shore extremely interesting. I am endlessly fascinated with the plants and animals that inhabit these transitional places where a body of water meets the land. In this painting I interpret my impression of water lilies at the edge of a hidden cove in Knights Pond, where loons nest in the Spring and geese rest on their migratory flights.

I am not going to upload all the paintings, but you can view them here. I am really glad I did the project and feel a sense of accomplishment at it's completion. The triumph over the side effects of the chemotherapy drug, taxol, is especially satisfying after not being able to do the simplest things like button my shirt, feel the ground under my feet, or hold a brush!

The sales of paintings have been good and helped me catch up with myself a little bit financially. There are still some beautiful paintings from this collection available, and I hope those sell soon too. Please do share the link with anyone you think may be interested in this project or in adding one of my paintings to their collection. Aside from the direct sales, two commissions came out of this project. I am so very glad to be well enough and able to commit to a commission piece once again.

This is turning out to be a very challenging project, but I sent out my first mailing yesterday and got my first sale!! This is good :) Now that I am not in treatment for Breast Cancer full time, I can get back to painting and selling my paintings full time. Since I don't qualify for any public assistance without giving away the farm, this sale is very good.

Small Friends

I am always amazed these fragile little birds can survive a long, bitter cold Maine winter. I guess they are stronger than they appear. I am now 1 year past diagnosis and surgery for breast cancer, and 6 months past chemotherapy treatments. I am finding that I, too, am stronger than I thought, although I have looked and felt pretty fragile at times this past year. Facing metastasis, however, I know my life remains as tenuous as my little friends here. Though the struggle continues, I see each day as a gift, and look forward to warmer, brighter days ahead.

I recently went with a new friend I met through the American Cancer Society to Camp Fair Haven in Brooks, Maine. It was a lovely Fall day and we both enjoyed this quiet, secluded spot on a gorgeous lake deep in the woods of mid-coast Maine. If anyone needs a sunny spot on a rock to meditate on, this is it. The original is available on my website, and I have made this watercolor painting available as a print.

Stranded here since my neighbor got home from her business trip and picked up her car. The garage hasn't called, so they haven't even looked at my car yet. Somehow, during this what seems to be chronic financial crisis, I am managing to stay focused enough to continue to work. Hoping my supplies hold out!
