The Best Gift

A few years ago, the art consultant 

for the new Dana Farber Cancer Center 

at the South Shore Hospital

purchased a dozen paintings of mine 

to hang in the "chemo bays."

This is one of them:

"Stay"

8 x 10 

A few days ago, I received this e-mail:

Dear Nancy,

 My name is Sandra, and I just had my first chemotherapy treatment at the Dana Farber Cancer Center.  I enjoyed your painting entitled STAY,,,of that lovely little dog! :))) As I sat in my chair, I watched your painting as the sun moved across it changing the colors and enhancing the brush strokes...from a bright early morning sun ...to late afternoon golden glow. I have been very sick 

and have not been able to paint in a long time... it gave me hope and inspiration as well... It truly made my day and I just wanted to say Thank you Nancy :)

Needless to say, I could sell a thousand paintings 

and it wouldn't mean as much as that. 

Artist and life coach, Liz Wiltzen, says it all in her latest post.
