Finally a new post in this year.

The last few weeks have been very busy, because Hans came home from the hospital.

I have to help him with a lot of things all day. Since he is allowed to use his arm things are a bit easier.

Still I managed to paint. This is Bella a comissioned portrait. And it is sold. The owner loved it!!!

During my husbands stay in the hospital (4 weeks) I painted a little, and this was so nice to do.

The example was a bunch of flowers. Painted from life.

The posts below were from half November. I was home for 2 days from London when something terrible happened. My husband broke his arm, without an accident, just like that.
In the hospital they started searching for the cause of that broken arm. After a week we knew he had cancer, Kahler disease. There is no cure for it, but with chemo therapy he might live for another few years. It's terrible to see a loved one suffer from so much pain and feeling tired and sick all day.
We can only hope for good results, so we will have some years together, and for our son to have a father for another few years.
It's not in our hands anymore...........................................

I was surprised to find an award in my email.

I was inspired to paint snowdrops after watching a dvd of Ann Blockly.
