More about me

Hi all, I am a 70 year old widow.  I enjoy writing Christian poetry, doing computer artwork, make temari ( Japanese embrodiery done on thread wrapped balls) knitting and playing the piano just enough for my own amazement or amusement.  I have 7 grandchildren and 2 great grandchildren.  I love to walk and I attend church on a regular basis.  I like to read just before I go to bed as it helps me to wind down from a busy day and it helps me to sleep.

My art history

As a child I didn't like art at all.  But when I got into HS I would see the art class getting to go outside to paint and draw, so decided to take art classes.  Through the years I have gone to painting and drawing classes.  I took tole painting classes for a couple of years, and the teacher would always scold me for making paintings of fruits and veggies very bright, she wanted me to dull the colors with white, but that is not how I see fruits and veggies.  In the grocery store the most colorful section is the produce department.  When I got my computer art program I just played around with it, but when I lost use of my skilled hand I found that the computer program could fulfill my need to create art.

As I wile away the hours on my computer,
Doing works of art,
To add beauty to your world,
I try to do my part.
So many of the works I do,
Never will be seen,
As I just don't like them,
As they are sent to the recycle bin.
-Patricia Lawrence

Here is a poem I wrote when I was going through a severe trial in my life and having a friend who comforted me. 

FEEL SUCH LOVE

One day when I had a problem,
A friend sat at the table with me,
And as I shared how I felt,
In her face the Lord I could see.
She listened ever so quietly,
About the things I really feel,
And the response I saw in her,
Was a love I knew was so real.
There were times with her,
When I would almost cry,
As I saw such compassion,
As I'd see a tear in her eye.
As she left my house that day,
I prayed to the Lord above,
And thanked Him for sending one,
Who could make me feel such love.
