Well, here it is the start of a new year...and I lost a friend. Chris passed away on January 5th from cancer. We'd just begun our friendship around the beginning of last year. I'd met her at work. She was an intelligent, talented and witty lady and I enjoyed her company a lot.
I have lost plenty of family over the years, which is rough, but this is the first friend whom I'd met on my own that I've lost. Obviously it's having quite an impact on me.
I find myself reflecting on what a talented artist she was, and wishing that she had continued with it. Her specialty was the "stippling" method. One of the things she and I had in common was a love of the beach and all things "beachy," especially seashells. You should see the incredible renderings of all kinds of seashells she stippled. Some of this work was actually sold, but that was quite a few years ago and not here in this area.
I'll attempt to post a few images that relate to this installment.
