Happy Days for me! Out of the moon-boot in walkers, no high heels for a while. Funny how once you have a moon-boot you look at everyones feet, hence the drawings. JoJo not so happy now, I can catch her when she is up to mischief. Best of all I can hold one of Jan's 🍸cocktails in the lift without spilling a drop. 😂

Things happen for a reason, I learnt to slow down, not stress when my daily list didn’t get done. A broken foot bone taught me to appreciate what I just took for-granted “Walking” 16 weeks in a moon boot, 8 weeks of non weight bearing, another 6 because I was too impatient to wait until it healed and caused the break to open up partially, At first I was depressed, then I decided I always complained I didn’t have enough time, so I took this time to do things I loved. reading, drawing, listening to podcast, learning something new every day. The biggest learning curve was having to rely on others to help me do simple things. Thank you to great friends Jan, Lyn & and Craig a neighbour for walking the dog. My Craig for having to do all the things I couldn’t. The sentence: could you do this for me! I’m back learning to walk bit always now remembering. Don’t TAKE THINGS FOR-GRANTED, MAKE THE MOST OF EVERY DAY.

Portrait of Ebony & Cheeky. “ Do you want to know a secret”
12 x 12 ins acrylic collage on canvas.
Portrait in loving memory of Ebony.
I didn’t know that Ebony had crossed the rainbow bridge when I started this painting. I was actually painting another portrait when I came across photos of Ebony & Cheeky. The painting “ Do you want to know a Secret” grew in my mind and imagination, intuitively the scene just had to be painted.
Cheeky whispering a secret to Ebony…. my feeling was to capture the love and warmth that surrounded them, the floral rug collage made from a summer-coloured serviette, is draped over the seat, the vase of sunflowers adds a touch of the happiness I felt when I first meet Wendy, Ebony & Cheeky at Scarborough Caravan Park.

The travelling trio arrived in this large motor home and were given the site next to us. I asked if Wendy needed help reversing into the tight spot. They needed no help, Cheeky sat on Wendy’s shoulder and Ebony in the passengers seat directing.
We became forever friends, have caught up in Woolgoolga and keep in touch. This painting of Ebby was painted from my heart with love as I know the sadness of losing such a special companion.
What do you think Cheeky was whispering to Ebony? Would love to have your comments.
