Dream (Vietnam) - 02/02/1991


I am a woman living in a remote village in Vietnam. My sister comes and leaves her baby with me. She says that she has to go and find her husband who is off fighting somewhere. She is gone a long time, and I feel really sad because I don't know what happened to her.

Thank you, V!!

Good idea, Alibaba. I actually painted two others that didn't make the cut. Maybe I'll dig them outta the trash and turn them into cards!

Hahaha, Les . . . too bad I'm lazy.

Actually, Chet, my dad served two deployments to Vietnam and developed cancer from Agent Orange. Thank you for your kind words.

Susan, the date in the title is the date of the dream!

N, I just keep trying and trying. The picture for today's post is my third try. I wasn't really happy with the other two.

Hahahaha, Mark!

Glad you're enjoying it, Kat!

I am loving your water colors and reading your dreams. Please continue painting your dreams. You are very gifted: with your heart for others, with your writing, with your water colors, with your ability to change up things you have gotten from swap meets, and with your photography to name a few!!!
