Dog Painting for Daddy

Draco by C Moore age 11


The only one of us that was at all productive this week in the art sphere was my daughter taking a past sketch called Draco and redoing it in 'paint' on the computer

Puppy C Moore age 11

and painting this puppy sketch for her dad's office!

I did however finish putting together the memory journals for my friend's daughters in honour of my friend, their mother, who passed away, and I cleaned out the art studio, which was long overdue! Check, check! :-)

In Loving Memory

In loving memory

simple gesture, kind, humble
a trinket left on the children's bed, unannounced treasure
gentle soul
heart of gold

may you rest in peace

This so reminds me of work by the group of seven!

Our hearts and prayers
to all those affected by the events in Japan

An easy way to help with relief in Japan

Salvation Army: To contribute to earthquake relief, text 'JAPAN' or 'QUAKE' to 80888 to make a $10 donation or visit SalvationArmyUSA.org. Please note that text donations though easy usually take 30 to 60 days to move from carrier to releif organization. That said mobile donations were effective in raising over 32 million toward aid to Haiti in the 2010 earthquake.

Red Cross: Text REDCROSS to 90999 to donate $10 from your phone. This will donate to the general Red Cross Disaster Relief Fund, so if you want to ensure that it goes to Japan you'll have to donate from their Web site.

In Honour of Your Mama

In honour of your mama..

Your mother was a true princess in every sense of the word. She was patient and kind, and rejoiced in the truth. I do not remember a time when your mama spoke a cruel word or laughed at someone else’s expense. She was neither envious nor boastful and always more interested in others than in herself. In the whole of my life I have only met two people who so clearly thought things through before they spoke. Your mom endured all things, hoped all things and believed all things. With her strength and quiet, your mother touched many.

I recall your mothers clear eyes and her smile and it stills my soul. It is a gift that your mom has left with many and it is a quietude that you will always find tucked in beside your heart. Your mom is a genuine princess, an angel, and I know she looks down and cares for you from above. She is a rare creature of God. Call to her when you are in need, ask her to pray for you in times of sadness and of joy, close your eyes, find your stillness, she is there.

With much love xxxx L
