Every Friday morning there is an amazing group of women that gather together for 2 hours. They meet to share their experiences, drink tea and then..... paint!
.
I was blessed to have this offered to me when I was first diagnosed with breast cancer back in October. It has been quite a revelation for me to put my feelings on paper through paint and painting. Nothing like the art classes that I had to endure at school.
.
The group was envisioned and started and maintained by a wonderful woman called Martia. She has been running the painting gathering for over eight years I believe - wow, what an offering from her heart! Thank you Martia!!!
.
Martia is wonderful at getting you to just express yourself in any way you want. She says the more paint you use the better! And my fellow women in the group are fantastic supportive friends and artists! We are there for each other like I can't describe. But love is a big component for sure!!
.
The group is supported monitarily by donations and grants. I have an idea to help support keeping this group going as it's pretty precarious to as if it will be able to continue due to lack of money support. I'll let you know my "Idea" soon (!)
