Apparently,
it is International Women’s Day. While I
do not get particularly enthused about holidays designed to remind us that we
each have value [why should we need that?], I must recognize that we still have
not created a world in which we treat each other as equals, or at the very
least, with respect and dignity. So,
until such a time exists, these days serve as reminders to decent folks.
And speaking of women, I lost a very dear
Florentine woman friend of mine on March 1.
She called me a sister and I will never forget Susanna’s kindness to me
and her love and friendship. This has
been a long haul for her and these last several weeks were especially difficult
for me and her other close loved ones, as we watched her slowly leave us.
Back at home now, I started working today
on the mural project I wrote about in an earlier post. This one is slow going since it is a specific
landscape painting, versus an imagined one.
The mural size is 109 x 240 cm, so about one-fourth the size of my firstTuscan mural in Caprese Michelangelo, Italy.
Thank you.
Peace,
Kelly
