This painting is named in honor of one of my Grandmother's often quoted "wise words for living." Her 97- year-long life "planted " her in many unexpected places; many of them not easy to navigate. She was the child of immigrants making their way in a new country. When she was just a child, in church one day, her parents caught her trying to take money out of the "Poor Box." When reprimanded, she questioned them stating, "Why not? We're poor!" (true!) As a young woman looking for a teaching position in New York City, she was offered a job filling in for a class that she was told, "Had driven out 3 teachers ahead of her!" She accepted the job, determined to establish herself as "firm but fair" and successfully completed the school year. When offered an "easier" position at a "better" school, she declined, saying she was not about to back away from a challenge. As a young, married woman during the 1918 epidemic, she contracted the "Spanish" flu while she was pregnant with my Mom....
I have been seriously involved in watercolor painting for the last 20 years following retirement from my public school teaching career. Having the time to paint, along with the freedom from the need to make a living at the same time, has opened many wonderful new opportunities, friendships and experiences for me. I am a frequent exhibitor in art shows at the local, regional, state and national levels, having been honored to receive numerous awards for my work. My painting style is realistic. I am drawn to detail and favor the use of vivid color. I enjoy painting a variety of subject matter, but the glorious world of nature is what seems to suit me best. Many of my paintings reflect time spent outdoors, especially in the mountains...
