"T" is for Trials and Tribulations - A to Z Challenge

Painting Detail ©Mary Montague Sikes

"The road of life is never without trials and tribulations." This is a quote from an unknown source. People can face trials and tribulations and learn from them or they can let the unfortunate episodes of life get them down. Some people choose happiness; others fall into despair. Attitude makes all the difference.

Farrah Ferand, the heroine of Evening of the Dragonfly, has faced many trials and tribulations during her lifetime. She is learning from her trials and tribulations as she paints the work for her one person art show. The piece for today is a detail from her current painting that will be one of the largest in the show, 24" x 36". It's another watercolor on canvas using Robert Doak intense watercolors. The plan is for this painting to be completed by Saturday. So far, there is no name for the finished work, but creating it is helping Farrah overcome her trials and tribulations.
