I Completed an AP Inquiry. Part Three.

 

My Imaginary AP Inquiry is about aging, and the feelings that accompany many of the changes in life as we age. 

TOP LEFT: More thoughts about living alone. Can I do everything myself? Sometimes having a partner seems ideal. But, also I've been living alone so long now, that a partner might seem superfluous. The jury is still out on all of these thoughts of romance.

TOP RIGHT: My sister asked me to make a wreath for Barbara, and a wreath for Larry. She is hoping to put it on their grave. They were buried out of state, with my mom's family. This makes it difficult for me to visit the grave, and to leave flowers. So, this way, I can pay my respects from far away. I tried making these four times, until I finally got two wreaths that worked.

BOTTOM LEFT; This wreath is in cheery Spring colors. Times and seasons pass quickly, and this seasonal change is amplified by my profession. I look forward to Spring and Summer, as times to make artwork in my clay shed. Or, I can paint in my indoor studio. 

BOTTOM RIGHT: This is a medicine cabinet that I refinished. I found it at an antique store, and painted it up to hold some giant donuts, teeth, and some large pills. Donuts are medicinal. But, now that I have diabetes, they are on the forbidden foods list. When my dad was living alone through covid, I would buy his groceries, wipe everything down, and then cook him a meal. I loved to buy him donuts, because I think that they were a guilty pleasure.
