Birthday rose #206

Daily painting #206. 6"x6" oil on primed canvas panel

On the 23rd of April, tomorrow, when this post goes live....my baby girl will be celebrating her 11th birthday! After 5 grandsons in the Shedlock family, finally 11 years ago a healthy little baby girl arrived. But our joy quickly turned to heartbreak as within 24 hours she had picked up an infection in the hospital which went straight to her lungs and we were told our beautiful baby girl would not make it through the next 24 hours! I don't think I have ever experienced such despair and panic as I watched each breath she took hoping it wouldn't be the last ....anguish like I hope never to experience again! But she is a special soul, sensitive yet strong beyond measure....she never gave up the fight...a brilliant doctor and bucket loads of prayers (actually begging on my part) ....she is still here today and we are so grateful and blessed! Amy Rebecca Shedlock have a special birthday my darling girl.....your birthday will never pass without me feeling huge gratitude....reminding me of just how fragile and precious life can be!

Happy birthday beautiful girl....you always love my floral paintings...so a rose today....in all your favorite colors....

Late afternoon #205

Daily painting #205 5"x7" oil on primed canvas panel SOLD

This afternoon, after what was quite a lazy day, we all decided to go for a walk to get some fresh air. My children both have tests at school this week and had been learning for about an hour, so we all needed to get out of the house for a bit! The walk was therapeutic....the late afternoon sky was just starting to bid the Easter weekend farewell and even my children commented on how beautiful it was! We arrived home just as the last shades of pink were ebbing away....

Boiled egg #203

Daily painting #203. 4"x6" oil on primed canvas panel

Boiled eggs, painted eggs, candy eggs, chocolate eggs.....this is all very egg-citing!! Yes, I know.....that is a really corny stupid joke! But not liking eggs at this time of year, could be really problematic! Eggs of every kind remind us of the season of rebirth and by the time this post goes live in the morning, it will be Easter Sunday! So if you and your family celebrate Easter...."Happy Easter to you!" May your day be full of love, remembrance, thankfulness, family and of course a little bit of chocolate!

Roses #201

So there nearly wasn't a daily painting #201!!! Today has been a crazy day ....I taught a class this  morning, my son had to get to hockey trials and my daughter had a dress rehearsal for a show she is dancing in next weekend! I seemed to spend most of my afternoon in the car....

Easter weekend could not have come soon enough! A long weekend that includes lots of chocolate and hot cross buns.....mmmmm.....sounds good to me!
