tis the season
A friend and mentor passed away earlier this week. She lived an admirable life, took care of her friends, family and all the creatures who shared her world. She made a difference in many people's lives and took care to set a good example in her community. I'll miss her and her art.She was in her 80's, lived by herself in her own private idaho, could drive and was as sharp as a tack. She collapsed on her deck in her woods and died of a massive heart attack. As much as I hate to see her go I know it was a blessing since a slow decline would have been completely unacceptable in her eyes!

ahhhhhhh man, dd.
i know who you are referring to.
she certainly lived a full life on her own terms. and what a befitting portrait you created of her and have hanging in your show. it shows her true spirit. i'm sorry to hear of her passing...
but, but, but...
you know..
she did it her way....even in death.
lovely painting to go along with this post, btw..
oh, and each time i think of her, i think of meeting her at her lake..
what a force..
i think of my mother being at the lake.
and how similar they were in certain respects.
I'm very sorry that you lost your friend and mentor. She sounds like someone very special.
Peace to you.
If given a choice, I can definitely see why one would rather go suddenly, as opposed to in littles.
Of course, sudden passing gives no opportunity for the loved ones to reconcile themselves to the fact that their kin has died. My condolences to you.
