Today I enjoyed bible study with my granddaughter and her aunt by face time. Then I sat on my porch in the nearly 80* weather to enjoy the birds and the flowers. I prayed a lot. Here we are blessed for the time being because this is a very small rural town. Even the grocery store four miles up the road is well stalked and people are not panicked. Even so, the majority are concerned about the unknowns and the risk of infection as time goes on. The fact that we know almost all in our area causes this quarantine to take its tole. We want to visit and hug and go to churches or movies. We must consider the risk to others and so we comply with the seclusion. Things are not much different for me because in order to paint, I ordered my life in a secluded way. I’m used to it. Others are not. So I pray for us all,,,and paint. This is what I did today. After this is well dried I will apply a thin, transparent layer of flesh and then glaze with vivid red reflective light and highlight with very bright and yellow highlights. I will then refine those glasses and also the ribbon. Then I believe this will be finished. When I began this five years ago, I began two. Yes, two. I wanted one for each of the girls. I would have continued working on both but this spring I needed to be working on a cheerful work and do it in a way that brought success and accomplishment daily. So I only worked on one so as not to become more stressed. Eventually, I will go back to the other one. So thankful. Shalom, Diana
