Painting Sidelined by Family Responsibilities

I have had a difficult fall and winter. First, my elderly parents needed help due to a sudden health crisis. I traveled across the country to British Columbia to assist with moving them out of their home of 40 years. This involved sorting through decades of accumulated stuff and then trying to organize what was left into a very small space.

I had only been home a couple of months and starting to try and catch up on things when, sadly, my dad suffered a fall and after a few days, slipped into a coma and passed away soon after. He was 91 years old. It doesn't help that I have probably bitten off more than I can chew by going back to school and studying nutrition part-time as well as painting full-time.

I am sure some of you have lost a parent and know that it is an emotional minefield. I hope to navigate myself out of this funk and end up back in the studio soon.

Thanks again to everyone who took the time to contact me and express their condolences. I do appreciate it greatly.
