  This is a  large bold cream dahlia that grows in our garden by my window.  The challenge of doing a cream flower is to get enough contrast in colours between the petals so it stands out.

With  the massive difficulty I am experiencing holding a pastel, seeing an image, creating something life- like in real life, I have decided to go back to my pastel roots and try out some abstract art, expressing my feelings and hidden reality. This is my first attempt. It is called boulders. It reflects the many boulders of all shapes sizes and descriptions that attack, assault or block me from functioning like an ordinary person might do with an ordinary life.

  Still sad Three years on With you gone Yet stills we feel you all around Your smile still lingers here And still we see you everywhere Your bark still lingers on  the breeze And honestly, I am still afraid to sneeze Incase you bark at me again  No dog to poke a wet nose at my paralysed arm So many special ways you charmed us Your ball lays silent in the grass No football played here anymore Your bedding and your toys all gone Your leaving  us is not quite so harsh Though painful memories still Can jab and stab at us. Mostly we feel your love And happiness Tenderly surrounding our Now quiet lives And are just so glad we knew you Even for a shorter while than hoped for Our Precious little dog.

  I am proud to have illustrated this beautiful new song by my husband. Such  a joy to draw tge pictures with one finger, though it took quite a while to manage. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=3BAlps9oN4k Greg says this: I am not sure anyone could imagine how bad it is. However one of the worst places is lying awake at 3am, not knowing how to help her in her agony. My heart breaking, I wrote this love song: ‘Last night I awoke and watched you While you slept  Wondering how much pain you were in And if a coffee would help I didn’t want to wake you up I couldn’t tell if you were asleep or not All I could do was Lie there and try to Find some rest myself Before another day of endless torture Begins Praying for a miracle for you Dear Lord would you help us both get through The emptiness of the hours ahead Help me as I lie in this bed Praying for A miracle For you I got up silently To make a note of this song I had to do it right away Before it was gone But love still burns Ins...

I am proud to see my art, a framed picture of Shadow, a dog with a moving rescue story, drawn with one finger on an iPad, mentioned in this lovely video, on the stall helping to raise money for PennyPaws Rescue dog charity. The video was taken at Winkleigh Car Boot sale where Jane and Bee have a regular stall to raise much needed funds for the charity. https://www.facebook.com/jane.pedrotti.79/videos/1298868011589422/?notif_id=1753606223401084&notif_t=feedback_reaction_generic_tagged&ref=notif
