Studio No. 417 – TAOS SUMMER STORM – 24″x30″ Original Oil on Belgian Linen, framed – Preview Painting. It took weeks of self-arguing to finally post the truth about losing my son. Looked back on my life for the last 2-1/2 years today – I sat in a big brown recliner for a year and cried – tried to keep up my time at the easel, but it was sporadic. Relied on help from my friends, One day I heard a voice in my head say “What if you live for another 20 Years?” and I knew the way I was “living” was killing me. All of a sudden the lights went back on and it was time to take a fearless inventory of places and things….there was no going back from that moment…I didn’t know how, but I was being challenged to change everything!
