Got a couple of breast biopsies done this week, waiting for the results. Felt like just doing little paintings.

Thank you anyone who looks! 😍👩🏼?🎨

13. I've been thinking about you!!

Hope the procedure went well and that you had the meds/support you needed.

I LOVE this series. The one on the lower right reminds me of a tributary of Lolo Creek. Just beautiful.

[LiberalLoner]

40. Thank you so much❤️ and thanks for thinking of me!

Everything went well, it really wasn’t any big deal at all, and the staff were so incredibly nice to me that I dropped off a thank you card and treats this morning for them all! It wasn’t a big office so a couple dozen cupcakes were enough I think.

Your comment about Lolo made me smile because I have a cousin who lives in Lolo.

I’m always painting Montana, when I paint a landscape from the top of my head.

I guess you can tell where home really is, by the landscape you draw when you don’t have a reference photo to follow.

❤️❤️❤️

P.S. I hope all is well with you and yours this summer!

16. Quite charming.

Among my most treasured possessions are 3 miniature paintings done by one of the artists who sell their works at Montmartre in Paris. I’ve had them since about 1989.

They are quite tiny, about 1 1/2” x 2”, and were creatively framed by a friend of mine, who is a nurse but did matting and framing on the side. She was very talented. She did a few other pieces for me. I never gave her any guidance or preferences, because I knew she would find the perfect matches.

[LiberalLoner]

48. Thank you so much! ❤️ what a cool memory and souvenirs you have!!!

29. Oh my, LiberalLoner, these are so soft and evocative.

I love the light you’ve captured, and the mountains and the trees.
They beckon me to linger where it’s quiet and calm.
Deep breath and I can smell that fresh forest air, thanks be to the trees.

Painting is a beautiful way to be engaged while you await your results. Many thanks for sharing your paintings and your procedures. We’ll help you carry that load, okay?

A blessing, if I may…
🕊You are strong and brave and dearly loved.
May love and light surround you and enfold you,
and may you always find whatever help you may need.
Sweet Shalom, peace be with you.🕊

31. Oh I am in tears from the beauty of the blessing and your amazing kindness....

You have truly touched my heart and given me strength to face whatever lies ahead of me now.

It probably sounds strange, but starting during the biopsy procedures, I started feeling the presence of my mom and other loved ones in heaven. It’s such a strong feeling. I almost think if I turned around quickly enough I would see them. That feeling brings me a lot of peace.

Thank you for the blessing, your kind words about my paintings, for being here for me, for everything.

You are a big part of the reason DU feels like a family. ❤️❤️❤️

If there is anything I can do for you ever, please DM me, I’ll give you my email address, I would be thrilled to send you a couple of my paintings for free, etc.

30. Those are lovely!

I don't know how you can make those beautiful little landscapes with pastels, but I'm envious! Very nice work.

[LiberalLoner]

32. Thank you so much! There is something about small works that let me feel

I’m not wasting supplies if a painting doesn’t turn out. Plus, it’s less intimidating to do small works.

I know I need to do larger works to have anything to offer people might want, but I think I’m not quite there yet, and if I work another year or two with small paintings, I might just get to the point where I feel confident entering my works in shows or approaching a local gallery.

Smaller works are more fun and less stressful.

It is a challenge to get small marks with those big pastels, but I also use the harder nupastel sticks which are great at making relatively fine lines.

53. Hi wonderful fellow artists, got the biopsy results back

Left breast has two masses that are cancer, right breast not cancer but atypical ductal hyperplasia that needs to be removed and evaluated.

So surgery needed on both sides but only one side is cancer.

Thanks everyone so much for being so caring and giving me such great support.
