This is a sketch I made last year and posting because I haven't sketched anything else. Carol made this tiny doll at school in 1963 when she was four.
AND NOW AN APOLOGY.
I looked forward to this theme because I had suggested it.
But I have decided that at the moment everything
is getting too much, especially as on top of
my yet-unsolved health problems
something serious seems to be happening with my dearest Dev.
Added to all this, Carol died a year ago on 23 June
and we are all finding June very difficult.
Sorry to be so downbeat
but I wanted to explain why, for a while at least,
I shall be 'taking a break' from blogging,
though I hope to keep viewing and commenting.
YOU DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH YOU, YOUR ARTWORK,
AND YOUR LOVELY COMMENTS HAVE MEANT TO ME AND HELPED ME.
Jez
The doll is so sweet. She is in such good shape!!! Jez, I am so sorry that this is such a difficult time for you. I hope that both you and Dev have a turn around health wise and that family and friends make you feel a bit better. I hope looking at our art will help brighten your days. Hugs!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you Joan, and the hugs are much appreciated.
ReplyDeleteDear Jez, I am ever so sorry you are having a hard time of it right now. I am sad for your family, as this is a time of grief, at the anniversary of your daughter's death. I send hugs and more hugs to try and comfort you. I do hope Devs' health issues can be helped and he will be okay. I will keep him in my thoughts and heart. And you too with your own health problems not yet resolved. A hard time for sure and I can appreciate your need to pull back right now. But know you are a valued member of this little art community and the door is open to you always. I'm glad to know you'll be peeking in on occasion. I love this little doll you drew made by your dear Carol. A sweet memory holder. More hugs Jez. Love and hugs!

ReplyDeleteI just got home from out of town. I am so sorry to hear all this Jez on your blog here I am reading. Oh my dear lady and Devs not well. Oh and I wont go on. You basically have said it all my new friend I consider you. You have been a help for me as you encourage me . I went to get some more colors to add to the other pencils you had mailed me. They were stocking them but It would be days in the store. So I ended up with another type same method before I came back home. I was happy. My continued prayers for you and your family. Yes a sweet memory holder your daughter did. (The dolly)
