I just got home from my mother’s memorial service in Victoria. It was wonderful to see so many family members, friends and co-workers there. She was highly regarded, respected and loved.

For the past few weeks, I have been consumed with taking care of things for her, going back and forth to Victoria every few days. I have barely had time to think, let alone mourn.

Now that I have completed several major things, and her memorial service is over, I feel at a loss. When I was so busy, my mother’s passing was surreal, as I just focused on doing what I needed to do. Now I feel reality sinking in.

I haven’t painted for a while, and soon I will begin again. My next painting will be dedicated to my mother…

Life and Love…

In this physical world we’re bound
To live our lives, though I have found

Through all the joys and struggles we survive
It is true love that keeps us alive.

Even when a life is lost
We’re so very devastated by the cost.

What seemed so happy, safe and secure
When seen through tears, it’s all a blur.

Yet when the tears slow, and eventually subside
Then dimensions of space and time collide.

We see that life overflows this earthly space so small
And realize that true love transcends it all.

This charity event was packed all night long!!! Rachel did a fantastic job curating such a variety of artwork…grace-gallery looked fantastic! And, of course, it was so much fun!

Read about Terri Potratz, one of the participating artists, and the charity, Our Social Fabric in The Vancouver Sun.

For this show, I painted small abstract paintings based on my concept of infinity. You can view the full series under my Galleries section on the right of this page. Below are the pieces that were up for “Art of Giving.”

On Wednesday, December 16th, grace-gallery will be having a group show and fundraiser. I will be one of several artists exhibiting their work.

This will be a cash and carry art show, supporting a local charity.

Update!

This special show is a private event. Please contact me if you’d like to be on the guest list.

I love telescopes. They give a perspective unlike anything else.

Last night, I was privileged to visit Breckenridge Anderson Astronomical Ltd., a shop where telescopes are built. It was amazing to see what is involved in building a large custom telescope.

Stacy at Breckenridge Anderson Astronomical Ltd.

I stood beside a piece of equipment specifically designed for holding and transporting the primary mirror, for testing, and to simply move it around the shop. The mirror for this particular telescope is 50 inches across, and several inches deep, weighing 1100 pounds. The mirror was sitting in a crate nearby.

When the telescope is completed, it will stand 18 feet tall. This telescope will be situated in the southern hemisphere. It will peer into space, bringing us amazing imagery, and knowledge.

Telescopes are like eye glasses, helping us to see beyond what our human eyes are capable of. They help us see deep into space, and bring us back images that are absolutely breathtaking. They give us perspective…

For me, telescopes also give me my subject matter for painting. They bring me views of outer space – views of our universe.

The upcoming December 5th issue of Eclectica Magazine will be featuring select paintings from my Spaced Out series!
