24″x18″ pastel on sanded paper

Today I painted during a breast cancer luncheon at Baylor Hospital in Dallas with their arts and medicine program. A music therapist was also playing the harp during the lunch! It was such a beautiful day!

I included names in my underpainting of this painting. The names were collected from past and current patients of people that have impacted their treatment of breast cancer.

Please enjoy a celebration of pink paintings this month, in honor of breast cancer awareness. I paint for my friends and family who have fought the good fight against cancer, for their families, and for all caregivers who help along with the journey toward a healthy self (body, soul, and spirit). In my strokes of pink, are prayers of strength and healing.
