Hey Barb!

Thank-you for your comment. You are right there are a ton of things to be done in that series. Many I have put together and have not had the time to publish. Seems like I paint a bunch but am slow at getting them up. -T

Hi Norma-

Thank-you for taking the time to comment. We are kindred spirits in a few ways it seems. my heart goes out to the families of spinal cord injured and head trauma patients. I rest easier knowing God does have a plan even though I can’t see it many times. Take care. Tim

Dear Tim
Your art work is beautiful and has great spirit behind it. Your stories are more than touching.
I see we are neighbbors (I’m in Colorado)We also have shared the shattering adventure of having teen age sons with spinal injuries who recovered at Craig hospital. For us it was many years ago. It is heart rending to be a parent sitting beside an injured child. You never forget how tenious and precious life really is. You and your child are chnaged forever. My son is now 46 and still suffers the effects of his lower spinal injuries. Life is harder for him than for our other children and he is stronger as a result.
Each year I paint a wheel chair person for national disability week. I give them to different agencies each year.
Some agencies even like them LOL.
I’m so glad to know you.

Oh my gosh, Tim. I came to look at your wonderful portraits, and found a story in the painting. As a mom and grandmom I can relate to it. Besides that, it’s just well-done. (The light focus on Elise is perfect.)

Then the stories you told of your son, of the joy of the gift of baby Elise — I’d just say you have some other paintings to do for this series.
