Second week of September 2001, I'm painting sunflowers from my P-Patch at the top of Queen Anne Hill, in my studio at the Work Lofts on Western Avenue in Seattle.

Paint, imagery —my tears
on paper. And yet, hope for the
future lies in the seeds.

Can't believe I missed this when you posted it. What a lovely post, Judith, and lovely work.
Dear Tina,
Thank you for leaving this post, it means a lot to me.
I remember watching the destruction of the towers on TV. The feeling of doom was so immense, right away. We had planned to go on a trip, but stayed in Seattle instead and I went to my studio every day, painting and painting, not just these sunflowers —actually a series of four), but also about ten large acrylics on a roll of heavy white paper.
My motto: When in doubt, create as an antidote to destruction.
Your artwork of 9/11 is so touching. And beautiful!
Thank you for your nice comment on my blog post about the skating rink. I enjoyed hearing about your skating on a frozen soccer field!
Thank you Michael Ann, I'm so glad you visited my blog and for the memories you triggered with the skating story on your blog!
