Description
HOPE AMIDST CHAOS
We returned to Bob’s property to choose the best of the rocks from the garden to take home with us. We would use them to build a memorial to what was. While there, we found some unexpected souvenirs. A clunky vase I had made in college, my sole attempt at ceramics. Why this? The pools of molten metal that were the car engine. They made interesting shapes. We picked our way down the broken steps to the rock garden which surrounded the charcoal cottonwood tree. It was there that we saw it, planted by Grandma 40 years ago. Hope in the form of a daffodil.
This is the presentation for the ten paintings, corresponding post-fire photos, and text that explains the backstory behind the art, as they appear in my art show "A Tribute to Marshall: A Journey Through Healing". My Marshall exhibition will be shown in various venues in and around Boulder, Colorado in the coming months. Above is the text included with the photo.

I have so enjoyed looking at your exhibit and reading about each painting. This one is so amazing and so full of impact! It has meaning for us all. I cannot imagine the loss you describe and I am in awe of the healing journey through painting. Your work is wonderful, Anne. Thanks for sharing your story with us!

What a treasure this painting is Anne . Finding hope in the form of a golden daffodil how poetic . Your story reminds me of Walt Whitman’s , poem ,of a surprise view of a sea of daffodils on a hill.
