When Life Gives You Lemons, Paint Them
Posted By amyschrom on April 19, 2010
At least that’s what my buddy Dave The Painting Guy said. So, what better subject matter for my first painting since I lost my husband, than lemons.
I won’t lie and say I’m doing great, but in between all the sadness and doubts, I have glimmers of hope. That’s all I can ask for. That, and by the grace of God, those tiny glimmers will grow brighter.
Thanks to all who have offered their kind words and support. It made a difference to know how many people care.

Amy, you’ve been in my thoughts and my heart each and every day, truly. I’ve checked in each day and am so happy to see this beautiful painting this morning. I pray that your glimmers of hope grow a bit brighter each day, much as these lemons grew on your canvas. This piece is really beautiful; it has a presence that belies it’s actual size. Truly a perfect painting here. Lovely…
Thanks Autumn. I had to paint something so I could read your wonderful critiques. lol Terry Miura was right– you do have a wonderful way with words. Maybe we could both have you write our blogs.
Glad to see you working again.
looks great.
Beautiful still life!
I concur – your lemon painting is a beautifull bright spot. Send some of that sunshine down our way in Texas. We are getting rain every day down here.
I hope you are smiling again.
