It was an honor to be commissioned to paint a memorial portrait of Tucker earlier this year. Such a sweet and lovely dog! Tucker is pictured here next to a landscaped waterfall and pond that he and the family enjoyed.

“’...Praise be to the name of God for ever and ever; wisdom and power are his. He changes times and seasons; he deposes kings and raises up others...He reveals deep and hidden things; he knows what lies in darkness, and light dwells with him.’”

It's been about a year since I completed this drawing, and I continue to meditate and puzzle deeply over what true justice and mercy for ALL looks like. I have not made much progress on a satisfying answer, but I can say that I feel more at peace than I did a year ago.

it is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life."

Are flashing signals through the gloom—
Courageous messengers of light
That dare immensities of doom..."

This drawing brought to by the three attempts it took to get the scans I needed when I KNEW something was wrong - and the fascinated look on the doctor’s face when they said, “Wow, that’s a lot of polyps - you must have been experiencing a ton of pain!”

"This Is My Wish For You:
Comfort on difficult days,
smiles when sadness intrudes,
rainbows to follow the clouds...
beauty for your eyes to see,
friendships to brighten your being...
courage to know yourself,
patience to accept the truth,
love to complete your life.”
- Ralph Waldo Emerson
