A meeting at the Vineyard

A meeting at the vineyard, 1 by 14 inches oil
What is a better place than a vineyard to meet and catch up with long lost friends! The thought of gratitude to my friends who stood by me in my troubled days is what inspired me to paint this one. I dont have many friends in real life, I can count them on my hand! But each one of them makes me feel like I have hundreds of them. I have made many good friends in the virtual world through this blog. Some have fallen through, was not meant to be and some still going great even when I know I am not going to see any of them in my real life. I thank you all, my friends from the blog world for all those encouraging mails. Good health keeps evading me, so painting has taken a back seat. Painting everyday was a habit, but not any more, I only hope it is a temporary trying phase.One thing that gives me energy is my paints, I may not want to compromise on that!

  4. After a long gap, I saw your comment on my post and was wondering about that gap.
    Now I know why.
    Keep painting. Your paintings are nice.
    I feel like magnifying that painting so that I can hear what those people are talking about in that peaceful surrounding :-)

  7. Your courage and strong spirit are inspirational, Padmaja.
    Thank you for making the effort to paint and post. The colors and distance you captured make me feel I know this scene. It could be California.
    I am glad you have not given up painting entirely.
    You can always post an old one for us to enjoy too.
    The bonds must not be broken.
    Sending love and warm hug.

  10. When you do have the strength to paint, it is a wonderful way to get lost in the process, hopefully forget about everything other than the brush and paint, and the end result usually reflects a wonderful journey and place as this does.
