This card recently came in the mail. A fairy godmother with combat boots.
That’s what I need – a pair of combat boots to paint for my Walks thru Life: Shoe Portraits Series!
But where, or from whom?
This guy was behind me at the store. I asked if I could take a picture of his boots.
They weren’t quite right, not gritty enough. I wanted a pair that “walked the walk.”

Then … poof! A perfect pair came in the mail (along with a petite pair of ballet slippers) commissioned by Shari Epstein. This is the painting for Shari. I am holding onto the boots a little longer- I want a painting of them for myself. To remind me that I am strong and that I am going to kick this cancer….

On that note… I pushed back my surgery date to Wed., April 6. This way I can be at The Garage for the Kennett Square Art Stroll and our YoungMoms printmaking exhibition.
And besides, would you want to have major surgery on April Fool’s Day?!
Nanci I just found your blog – and I love your spirit, your creativity, your sense of humor AND your art! I’m putting you in my prayers for your surgery. Get your combat boots on, girl – and fight!
HI Kellley,
So glad that you found me. I see that you post a lot of Karen Rose’s. Are you painting buddies? Thanks for your comment and good wishes, I am a week out of surgery now and doing better every day.
Even painted yesterday! Thank you again
