a friend gone....a journal coming together....and a memory from the past
my dear friend Gus is no more. he passed away on Sunday…..he had been struggling for a long time…he was a fighter but he was tired…..so as much as I wished my friend was here with us on earth….he has moved on and I am a better person for knowing him….my art journal is coming together pretty well and I am happy with how things are looking……granted I haven’t worked in it as much as I would have liked to…..due to things with Gus…..and my back has been hurting due to inadequate seating in the sunroom…..pushing my limits with the yard etc…….so my back was NOT a happy camper downstairs at the drawing desk……until today….. when I popped into office depot and bought a new chair and it is heavenly! :)….YAY…..life is hard enough right now for many….and I had to have some cooshy chair! :)….. the passing of Gus was such a strike to the heart. I met him over 25 years ago and life has never been the same and I will certainly miss him……now skipping back to the art journal…..theme….trees……it has slowly not only morphed about my tree dream…… or the tree in maui…it is addressing family trees as well……and it certainly is still a work in progress! :) as for the memory from the past, I came across a video that was shot at the Warhol in Pittsburgh when weezie and went 5 years ago……god that was a great trip and to be in the presence of all of those Warhols…….I was at a loss for words and became overwhelmed at one point and broke into tears…… @
