Home #305

Daily painting #305. 6"x8" oil on primed canvas panel  

There really is no place like home! I know my mum is feeling better because she is wanting to get back home...to her own house! So today I am full of gratitude ....for my beautiful home and the fact that I was able to bring my mum into my home to recover....for my amazing husband who insisted my mum come to our house until she felt better....for my mums healing and recovery (she is a tough cookie!!).... for my amazing work and passion which allows me to be at home when I need to be...and last but not least to every single one of you who have dropped off a flower, visited, called to send her well wishes, or even sent me messages wishing her a speedy recovery, even though some of you don't even know her, your thoughts have been with me....and I am SO grateful! 

This wasn't meant to sound like some 'Oscar award speech', but rather just a chance to say ''THANK YOU". I always tell my children to say 'thank you' costs nothing and we don't do it often enough, so today I am practicing what I preach to my kids! 

My mum is feeling better and going home .....thank you! 

Only a few days left of the SPECIAL OFFER (free postage) and GIVEAWAY..... so don't miss out! All details on blogpost #300 and #301!

Afternoon light in The Gardens #304

Daily painting #304 5"x7" oil on primed canvas panel. SOLD

Everything appears to be dry and brown (my grass certainly is) after no rain but yesterday on closer reflection there is actually lots of green around. I looked into the public gardens that border our house and the shades of green were really quite beautiful and it made me realize that in Durban we are actually quite spoilt and what we perceive as a dry, chilly winter is the closest some places get to summer! Our winters are quite beautiful and I am grateful I took some time out to enjoy it for a bit ....

Don't forget to check out the SPECIAL OFFER AND GIVEAWAY before the end of the week. Order a little painting with FREE postage and stand in line to be one of two people to win a second little painting for free.

Painkillers #302

Daily painting #302. 4"x6" oil on primed canvas panel $40

300 paintings SPECIAL OFFER...purchase a painting and receive free postage and a chance to be one of two people to receive another painting FREE in a lucky draw. Details under painting #300...

My mum has been on some seriously strong painkillers since she came home from the hospital and I have been told by the doctor for the first week to not allow her to come off of them because of all the internal bruising after the operation. The problem is that my mum is on fluids only and so swallowing a huge capsule is out of the question. I have been opening them up and pouring the powder into a little warm water and honey to try dissolve the awful bitter taste....I can't believe how much powder comes out of one capsule! Last night I emptied 2 capsules and must have left them sitting on the kitchen counter. My cat must have found them in the night and had a fun game of chase, scooting the little capsules around. This morning they were found lying on the floor of the kitchen and I am glad I found them and no one else....it didn't look good! Considering I am a mum who takes her kids to the homeopath instead of the doctor if I can, it certainly looked strange! But for now if my mum is pain free until she heals a bit, I am happy!
