Miscellaneous

It seems that some subscribers have stopped receiving email notifications when I publish a new post. This is a test to see if it gets through.

So as not to totally waste your time, if you do receive this, I’ll add a couple of sketches.

This is a sketchbook drawing for the oil painting “Building a New LIfe From the Wreckage of my Old Life”  That’s a long title but I had to do it.

This is a new sketch. I’m experimenting with painting some of my wife’s possessions.

I know this sounds like I’m fishing for comments but I would love to hear back if you receive an email notification from this post. Thanks.

  4. Absolutely!!! I think painting her possessions is an excellent step. I look forward to more pictures. How about the vanity… or the messy place where she knew where to find ‘her’ things? My husband lays his hand on the counter and moves it ALL to my side of the bath vanity. : – (

  7. I got the post by email, Bill. I think you’ve landed upon a great project to honor your Les and I’m sure doing this will help you heal, too.

  8. I did get the email notification Bill. And I love the idea of painting Lesley’s belongings (and how you’ve executed it in here in her wonderful red coat.)

  24. I did receive your post and thank you for sharing your grieving process with us. I personally have never lost anyone close to me except for grandparents when I was a young adult. Reading about your process helps me understand and prepare for the inevitable. You are a good role model.

  26. Lovely painting. Even if the viewer knew nothing about the back story, it captures so much … happy times and loss and Leslie’s lovely swing and serenity … any viewer would feel some of that and leap to their own associations. A wonderful wonderful painting.

    [and P.S. I got the email too….]
