Unveiling Myself

A few days ago someone asked for me to post pictures of Joe and I on the journey through this relationship. I'm afraid that's not possible. We don't have a lot of photos, we've never been that 'way'. We've marvelous memories but few photos and the one's we have I would have no idea how to get on to the computer.

But luckily for you I've been painted by a professional portrait artist. She's presently at work on one of Joe. She did me first because she's conquered circles and with the wheelchair and ... um ... my general shape, she began with me.

So this is the official unveiling of my portrait by an artist as a young girl. I love the fact that Ruby sees the wheelchair as a natural extension of who I am. But, I'll leave the interpretation to you.

Just back from "fun" vacation...missed a lot of blog entries! Love the new look - purple is my favey colour.

Hi All,

I've changed the colour simply because I'm preparing for the Blog Carnival on Sunday. I tried a highlight here so people could click to see a new picture of Ruby but in the purple it was impossible to see the link. Here, with this colour, I think it's way easier to see. I always get notes from people when I change my blog colour or design so I thought I'd head that off by an explanation here.

What a wonderful portrait - big smile, lovely eye contact, friendly looking person looking gentle and welcoming for whatever comes - higher praise from such an artist is not possible!

Hi Dave
Your portait is wonderful. She caught your essence well and I will be interested in her picture of Joe when she completes it. Pass on our compliments to Ruby as every budding artist needs to be recognized.
