My friend N. died of colon cancer after 3 years of chemo, and I sat days upon days in the hospital and later with her during the last hospice days at home. This draft isn’t art but it’s raw emotion.
Patris, thank you so much. I really debated whether to post because I’m not an artist. If you are the only one who liked it, it’s enough to make my heart feel better. Thanks. I love other people’s art. That’s been my happiness. What I want to do is paint a better copy from the sketch, but I have no skill or confidence. I might have to hire an artist❤️
Diane Kimble: The color drawing is so beautiful and the backstory so poignant. I will hold onto it and cherish it.
You move me. I am not able to improve upon it, for you reveal deep love for a friend.
The picture reflects a prior photograph that your well-loved friend found, as her own father kept the original as personal comfort when he was away.
This is like in Hamlet, a story within a story, and this one is so deeply personal and spiritual.
This tender and beautiful story is perfectly embodied in your painting.
Thank you!
Thank you again, Armand. I appreciate your kind and intuitive comments. Peace for the holidays!
Trust me, you have skill. Make another copy - or several. I’d like to see them here.
Also as a story teller.
You’re too kind & optimistic 😆
It’s the truth. Trust me here
Aww. 🥰
How can I not be moved by your friendship with this woman of courage. Poignant episode in your life and conveyed honoring of her.
Her gift showed an insight into you that clear eyes see. The art work is terrific.
