| "Forest of Healing" 2011 Oil on Canvas 18x24" |
Disease and ailments of the heart are ever upon us, striving to take the vitality that gives us life. When all has been taken, and we are weak with nothing left, it is the passions of the heart that keeps us going.
There is a little girl with a chronic health condition who often frequents Primary Children's and art is the passion that keeps her going during her long visits to the hospital. Recently I offered to give her oil painting lessons, and the above composition was painted with her. For these reason I titled the pieces "Forest of Healing". The piece will be given to my sister as a thank you for her contribution to Primary Children's play therapy programs.
Addendum:
The little girl that I referred to in the above passage passed away this Memorial Day due to complications of cystic fibrosis. She passed at 12 years of age, the past 7 of which I have been privileged to share with her.
