Broken Wings


8x6" oil on canvas, SOLD

Today my son went back to college. It was the end of his Spring Break after a week at home sleeping and eating. I'm sure lots of kids traveled back to their colleges today. And lots of moms are feeling just a little blue. My Zac is so special. He's my hero. Zac is a cancer survivor and one heck of a determined guy. The cancer and the treatments he endured left him with many physical issues that he has to deal with every single day. And hopping a plane to Tucson to go back to U of A is not easy for him. Walking is not easy for him. And for me, well, it's a leap of faith every time he leaves home. But he loves school and like I said, he's one determined kid. Those broken wings don't slow him down. He's learning to fly. Love you, Zac...all the way to the moon!

'Fly Away"


20"x 24"

Another painting for my show. This particular painting is one I started a few years back when my son was going through cancer treatment. I actually have over 50 paintings that I made during that time. Happily, I can report that he is doing quite well now--a college freshman at the University of Arizona and I am making paintings that are a bit more lighthearted. Tomorrow, I'll get back to my small Daily Paintings and I'm looking forward to it.
