Cooper is home , and my soul is full of simple abundance

What ever we are waiting for , peace of mind, contentment, grace, the inner awareness of simple abundance , it will surely come to us , all theses traits are found in our dearest friend our beloved dog .
Dogs carry their serenity with them , a shady grove tree, a special toy and of course just green grass will make a joyful dog .

To capture and paint this joy , this simple abundance is a blessing to my soul . I know this is why and what my inner spirit is meant to do . Thank you "Cooper" for being part of my authentic life .

A note from Coopers Mom !
HI Pamela!! Cooper arrived today at 5pm and I have never been so excited! It is absolutely beautiful and just amazing! I had tears in my eyes just looking at the box! And when I looked at the painting, I cried and hugged my husband. Sam says that the background is so perfect and makes him look so happy and comfortable. He said it looks heavenly, like Cooper is smiling down on us. I like to believe that. It really is the best thing I have ever gotten! I love it! Thank you so much for doing this for us! I can't wait to see Bela! Thank you again!!

New pups , new joy , and white blood cells count climbing

We have new pups ! They have brought so much joy and happiness to our house . Lu is four years old and Pedey her son is six months . They are rescues from Georgia , and I have to thank the wonderful souls who helped us adopt our pups . Thank you Mutts and More and The Connecticut Underhound Railroad . They are wonderful and I will always be so very thankful for their passion for dogs and the joy of Pedey and Lu .

These little kids come in at 14 lbs and 10lbs , but their impact in my life has been amazing . I am not the only one in the house who has come back to life , our jasmine at 14 1/2 now plays daily with little big man , Pedey . It often brings tears of joy to my eyes to watching the playfulness in our pack now.

For the first time in over 8 months , my white blood cell count is climbing . Could it be my treatment , yes ......but I prefer to think Pedey and Lu have a lot to do with my improving white blood cell count . I know in my heart this true . Love and joy are to vital to our inner souls .

We now have 3 dogs who come to work with us in the studio . Lu is even sneaky and steals my tubes of paint so I will pay attention to her and on those days that Lyme disease sends me to my knees and I spend the day on the couch , I have Lu , Pedey , jasmine by my side . I will always thank my biggest hero of my life , my beloved Anita . Thank you so much for Pedey and Lu .

Always reach for joy , even if it comes with short legs !

Life in our studio , love and puppies

As a artist, you long for those magical hours of putting brush to canvas. It is as simple as breathing and as vital . But I have learn new lessons from my battle to regain my health. Yes my art and my soul are intertwined, but with out my fellow studio mate, best friend, and someone I adore all would be lost. Thank you Anita, for sharing our studio with me, for dancing to music , playing with pups and smiling back at me . Our studio will be open this spring and all are welcome .....pups too . This blog is for you Anita!
