Notes

""Never Rush" was inspired by a dream I had on July 11, 1999. This is what I call a haunting painting. A haunting painting grabs my attention immediately and I start the painting right away. Jean, who was a very dear friend of mine, had died just about a year earlier, and my husband, Rock, had also gone to the other side, nearly 6 years earlier. In the dream, Jean was showing me her magnificient dining room. She didn't say anything. The dining room was as long as my whole house. She smiled, very proud. SHe was dressed in autumn colors and her hair was dark. Rock had on a white pull-on shirt with some red things on it. He smiled at me as he held up a blue rectanglular sign that said "Never Never Never Never Rush". I didn't see anyone else."
