The
Phone rang. It was Janine calling from the house of her
sister, Cherie. Last night at a dinner party in Palos Verdes
Estates, she sold almost all the small paintings that we
had pulled out of storage - literally dusted and cleaned
the day before - for $2,300 !
I am amazed. This is beautiful.
I had prayed for help so that I could continue painting,
and Janine showed up - all the way from Washington (state).
Once again, help has arrived unsolicited personally by me
in answer to my prayers. How often I have asked people directly
for help, and get none. Believe me, solicitation is difficult
for me. Janine came in with her own ideas to help and she
did. She also offered to return and help out at my art showing
in August.
Greater still, my encounter
with Janine yesterday, her positive and enthusiastic outlook,
her actions and belief in placing my art work - her encouragement
by action - her success and continued motivated efforts
- have opened my eyes to new creative possibilities.
It was once brought to my
attention, the rich resources at my disposal. At that time,
my eyes were closed to any possible use of the ample supply
of unfinished work and materials stored in my studio.
Now, however, where I was
blind, deaf, obstinate - I can see ! I have pulled out over
thirty incompletely works, and am adding to my stock of
materials and mediums. Work begins tomorrow on a new aesthetic
exploration. The VUTEk prints have served me VERY well in
warming up my hand and easing me into the waters of painting.
I am in my element after
all these years. And my eyes and mind buzz with possibility,
and expressive curiosity.
Thank you Janine, and bless
you. Praise you God for your goodness, kindness, faithfulness.
