I did this rose in 2003. I sent it to my in-laws. When they passed away it reverted back to me. My in-laws loved roses. This week I took the frame apart and rematted the picture. I changed the background color on the rose and glazed it as well.
Today is a better day so far. With my illness I have to pace myself. Ohterwise the tendency is to have my body get very upset and achy. The pain can get very bad. Yesterday I just allowed myself to reach my limits. Today I got together with others and I went out to look at things as a diversion from my pain. Spirituality has been on my mind a lot . There has been this realization that it is possible to get my body calm if I take the time to communicate with a power greater than me. God. This requires a lot of time. I have realized that I have lost my center, the part of me that is alive and healthy. There was a time when I was always aware of that presence that is greater than me. I lost that. My recent illness is just an indication how far off center I am.
Those of you who have taken the time to visit my blog I am in your debt. It is just so important to me to share with my friends the gift that God gave me. It is humbling to know that it is not great art, it is just an expression of my love and faith. This gift kept me from going down a road that led to a nasty deadend. Thank you for being here and sharing this with me... Dale
