Grateful for Quiet

What a year it has been. A combination of difficult and easy times. Of stressful  and relaxing ones. Which when looked at altogether make up a life that I am grateful for– plenty of family, friends, new acquaintances, and old friends saying hello. Also now apparent are the later life stages now arriving for my senior parents as we accept the inevitable and help them through. I know many of you have been through these same difficulties and have learned to accept the good with the bad. I and my siblings will be doing the same in 2019. I will be putting more time toward resolving some issues surrounding family but will never be but a few steps away from my peaceful place, at home with close family, or in the quiet of my studio.

Thank you all for following my journey in art and I hope you’ll be there as I begin anew in 2019.

Lesson learned: Things always come to pass.
