Description
"A New Life"Base is my watercolor "A New Day Is Here"...
This was one of the 12 paintings I did as a series expressing the emotional stages of a battle with breast cancer.
I was told I was dying of breast cancer. My old life did die. But God had a new one waiting for me, when all the storms had passed.
After losing my hair to chemo, this green hair was a symbol of recovery and new things waiting for me. I am many years past my "expiration date" now.

Thank you Sam. I am going to be a part of the community project, which was the deal I was talking about in my journal. I wrote the journal just a few hours ago, but you know that.
The "meeting" went very well.
I even wandered the neighborhood of the family which had given me the commission for "The Walk Now and Then". I had lost the contact info, and they live in one of those subdivisions where all the houses look alike and have about 5' between each one.
I FOUND the people. They showed me their photographs of the painting, and were all excited to have me paint it again. That is part of what I will do for this design thing. Maybe more, if I have time.
It goes to printer on Thursday. Perfect. I would have waited until now even if I had known about this for 3 months. Hah.
I really appreciated your vote of confidence.
This event, plus I signed up to get back on the horse and paint in the restaurant today, are cause for the latest deviation I posted.
I do love how the cloth "sculpture" looks. That will most definitely be a part of future collage work.
