Why paint for Pa?

Why "Paint for Pa"?



In August of 2010, I spent three days with my dad in the hospital. He had 99% blockage in his right coronary artery, which the cardiologist fixed by putting in a stint. Miraculously, the problem was addressed just in time. In December 2009, he survived a heart attack. In April of 2010, my mom was hospitalized for atrial fibrillation. That September, she survived and fully recovered from a stroke. I am beyond grateful that they are both still with me. However, in the midst of these health problems, I am left with a sense of helplessness. Other than being present to them, encouraging a healthy lifestyle and making them tons of delicious veg food, I am not quite sure what to do. I found the answer.



I recently developed a love for painting. I love painting solo, with friends, first thing in the morning and late into the night. It brings me peace. We have several of my pieces displayed in our house and hanging any more would be narcissistic. I want to share them with people. My plan is to sell my paintings on this blog. 100% of the profits will be donated to the American Heart Association, in honor of my parents. The donations will be used for cardiovascular research and educational programs. I hope other families can be as fortunate as mine. Thanks for your support!

"Take Me Away"

Camping is good for my soul. Its where I get lost in the moment and nothing else phases me. I have not a care in the world. My ongoing goal is to have balance between work and life. Along with too many of you, I spend endless hours on my weekends and evenings in front of my computer working. I promised myself I would take the Thanksgiving holiday weekend off and I have done just that. I feel good. I feel whole. I feel almost as good as I do when I am in the woods.
