Painting

After a hiatus of around 35 years, I have started painting again. Apparently, all of those years as a corporate artist/cartographer/drafter fulfilled my artistic urges. Watching a few Bob Ross, "Joy of Painting" episodes reignited the long smoldering flame.

I have a long way too go, I was never even a mediocre painter 3+ decades ago but perhaps, with time, I will achieve at least that level in my dotage.

 I have attempted over thirty paintings in the last six weeks.  Here are a few of them that I like.

60th

Kate would be 60 today.
I decided to stop posting, both here and on Facebook, to mark her birthday and the day she died.
Life, such as it is, goes on. This is my last post about Kate.
I'm pretty sure no one reads this blog anyway.

Mother

My mother passed away earlier this week surrounded by all six of her children and other family members. This is a picture of her with her great-great-granddaughter.
She was the gentlest lady I've ever known.
We all will miss her terribly.
