I've learned last month, that certain life's situations can take you into different directions both physically and emotionally. Sometimes leaving you drained and lifeless in it's wake. Early last month during the time that I was to finish this painting, my husband passed away on June 5, 2012 after a long battle with cancer. I wanted to paint this scene as a gift of my love to him. Having always loved the water, he enjoyed sitting gazing out across it, saying how peaceful it was. Before he died, he was able to see this painting even though it wasn't quite finished yet, he quickly called it, Safe Harbour, a place of refuge. My comfort now is knowing that he's in his own Safe Harbour and as for this painting, it's one that I will always hold a most special place in my heart always.
Today I'm posting this special painting as a tribute to him and to also say, Happy Birthday Love. He would have turned 63 today.

Beautiful, beautiful Marie. So special that he got to see it, even if it wasn't finished.
Thanks Dayna, I was glad he got to see it. It now hangs in my studio.
Marie, I was so sorry to hear of your husband passing away. I love your painting, the peacefulness and serenity, no wonder your husband enjoyed it. I am glad you put it in your studio, a place of inspiration and warm hearted thoughts.
Keep up your artwork! Both good and bad art will transpire, and it will soothe your soul.
Thank you Karen. I appreciate your kind words and support. I will keep up my artwork, it's a good therapy for me as well. All the best to you.
Marie

Hello Karen,
