Hope

I made an effort to squint when painting this. I realized that I usually squint when looking at my subject, but once I transfer my gaze to the canvas, I open my eyes...this time I squinted throughout the painting process. I kind of like how this one turned out.

Our son-in-law's brother was scheduled for surgery on Wednesday morning. On Tuesday evening, he received a call from UCLA Medical Center that his surgery was cancelled. His insurance company was denying payment. How does that happen after initial preauthorization approval? It's a tangled knot, and after a conference call, they (insurance company) said they will make a decision today...so once again, Dan is waiting. He will either have surgery at UCLA, or will need to go to OHSU. Time is of the essence, so we are waiting and hoping for the best.

Thinking up descriptive new names for paintings is difficult for me...how many times can you title a painting, "Mums" or "Flowers"? These flowers are mums that I got from the market. They look cheery and joyful, so I've named them, "Joy."

Today I'm thinking a lot about my son-in-law's twin brother, Dan. Dan is going in for a very serious surgery at UCLA Medical Center tomorrow.  We all feel like we're in a state of suspended animation...holding our breath until it's over, hoping we'll hear good news tomorrow night. We love you, Dan, and are holding you in our prayers.
