Awe and Wonder










I made it into The Art Prize Contest.  What a difficult Task.  There is a lot more politics than I thought there would be.
This is my picture.  I based it on the Wizard of Oz because that is what my life has felt like for the last 2 and 1/2 years.
















Those who know me know that after surgery I thought I lost my brain.  I struggled with verbal  communication(aphasic).  It was a new world and a new life I was no longer in Kansas.


I  was afraid and angry and I withdrew into my art.  Here I found a hidden talent that I did not know I had.  I work with water color pencil on canvas and practice every day.  Although I have given away many more painting than I have ever sold I have faith that someday I will be able to earn a meager living at it and pass it on to my grandchildren.
