Okay,
I guess you would say I'm back to blogging. This has been a terrible
year, a "horriblus annus" or whatever it was Queen Elizabeth said some
time back. I lost my beloved father at the end of January. He was a
hero to me, an inspiration, a man whose life was unbelievable. He
survived the Holocaust, escaping Nazi Germany as one of the last Jewish
people allowed out of that country. Family was lost, taken from him,
but the wretched people who did such vile things never took his soul. I
miss him dreadfully.
We've
had major flooding in Colorado; last year, major wildfires (as well as
some in 2013). Sometimes I wonder, what can keep me going? I don't
want to be a sad, depressed, dis-spirited person, that's never been my
style. The answer is, of course, beyond true family and friends who
have become family, art. Painting. It's the only way right now.....
Back
to the palette, the palette knife, the colors, the flowers, landscapes,
skies, travels. Revelling in the memories. Experimenting with the
colors, the textures, the subject matter. That's the way to go.

Greetings from Fort Collins, Colorado!
Karla, beautiful art. My deepest sympathy for the loss of your dad. I am certain he enjoys your paintings from where ever he is and he wants you to continue to be happy.
