These animal portraits are so gorgeous. I do love how you focused on their eyes and your inspiration behind creating this series. And many well wishes for good health.
Love the Lookbook, Maureen! So excited to attend the show in April, too! My fave is the zebra, followed by the baby elephant, but they are all wonderful. Sending positive vibes your way as you make it across the finish line with this fabulous endeavor!
Oh Maureen, I don't know where to begin. I actually have tears in my eyes, so I will probably spell "the" wrong too. I began right here, when I normally go to the beginning of a writer's Substack. Meant to be.
First, I am so grateful to hear your scans revealed no evidence of that horrible disease. I lost my best friend to cancer when we were 50. It lays near my heart always, as our daughters were born six weeks apart and they are still best friends at 35 years old. Oh my we cannot take life for granted. As far as your allergic reaction I feel we could rant together. The state of healthcare is dire. I am so very sorry. We are private business owners and catastrophic insurance is all we can afford for years. I'm a bit worried about turning 65 in 2025 now. Not sure if much will be covered from what I'm reading in other stories of cancer care and other things. You are now pressed into my heart and in my prayers.
Second, you are so very talented and I absolutely adore your lookbook and Vulnerable indeed. There you were battling your own battle and drawing theirs. It is just beautiful. How you achieved such beauty during treatment truly speaks to my motto, "live to create and create to live" as I take this to heart more now. I wouldn't know where to begin with sketch or painting and I deeply admire some very felt souls here who paint, sketch and write... to think you are a photographer too! I can't wait to explore more.
I think I need to visit Kentucky! Wish I wasn't so busy during the time of your exhibition. Huge congratulations with this. Enjoy every minute. Thank you for setting such a beautiful example of beauty inside and out. Glad we already spoke of our love of gardening. I'm going to think of you as I get out there this week. oxox deb

Thanks Jenn, I love that the Vulnerable eyes spoke to you too. Thanks for the well wishes. I'll take it! Cheers.

Thanks Suzie! I'm excited to show you. Just some boring housekeeping business now. Almost done. Less than three weeks! Eek! 🦓
Lots of wonderful news here, Maureen! Huge congrats!
Thank you Heather!
So glad to hear your good news! And what wonderful art! So beautiful.
Good Sunday Jeffrey, and thank you for the well-wishes and compliments. Namaste
