U know it’s pretty sad the state of our world! I am making my rounds in the hospital today and get to my sweet lil paw paw that has been here entirely too long! He was made a DNR by his family over a week ago. (Good decision!) I informed them that decision in no way means we r giving up!!!!! That decision only means in the event of natural death we will NOT attempt unnatural means of prolonging a life bound for paradise! for the first time in 8 days he is able to smile at me shake my hand and join me in giving glory to God for this small improvement! The sweet smiles and the Amen and hallelujah was incredibly awe inspiring! A nudge to make simple changes in the treatment regimen rewards me with this hand shake and smile!!! We know we saved this life even if the road to recovery is long!!! An hour later…. I’m being screamed at and accused of trying to kill a very young woman…. When I have been working this hard to TRY and save lives and am accused of this I struggle! I struggle to keep composure cuz well that’s insulting…… I struggle to have compassion for u and ur family member currently struggling to breath! I simply tried to impress upon her the importance of laying prone, taking slow deep breaths, and yes coughing and coughing to get that cement out of those lungs!!! I can only imagine the suck of it!!! It looks very painful and I offer some morphine to help with that pain only to be accused of trying to kill you with the morphine by your family! I happened to tell u today to make sure all ur family was praying because well that’s all we really have at the moment is the Devine intervention of our glorious and perfect father. The decisions were made and we just simply had to get you out of “ the hospital that is trying to kill you”! Sadly I know that where you r going they don’t believe in pulse dose steroids and ivermectin…. So all that we started doing trying to give you the best chances will be halted! Likely you will be placed on a ventilator I pray for you that it’s not for very long and you get to come off in a few days…. Deep down I’m worried tho because many many people didn’t get to come off. Should you get to heaven it wasn’t because I didn’t try to keep u here on earth! Sing beautiful songs with the angels and let them know we could really use some divine intervention down here!!!!

Sincerely

A very tired NP!

Artist statement

I am I don’t remember how many years old and have devoted my life to my family and my career as a nurse and have a MSN from Lubbock Christian University and currently practice as an FNP. I have always loved abstract and contemporary art! I began painting 4 years ago as sort of therapy after a hard day at work. I use multiple mediums such as acrylic, oil and cold wax, resin, and alcohol ink. I am inspired by Kooning’s use of color and Ginger Thomas’s use of texture.

You can find examples of my works on social media my Instagram is Jamie’s abstract creations and my blog is Www.jamie’sfabulousworks.com

 

Redemption complete

I can’t believe how fast the time is going! I barely have time to create with all the traveling  here is redemption all finished up looking snazzy.  I have finished up a smaller commission today will frame and ship then I hope to dedicate all weekend to a very special commission for my sweet Gabby!!! Her color choices r some that I don’t work with much so I’m super excited to warm up in my art journal then get down to business on her canvas.8141DAF3-BFD9-4A1E-BC1F-2E465C799689

I don’t have it framed yet but it shines!!!

Redemption

There are days I just go to my studio and paint with a pre conceived notion of what I would like to accomplish. Then there are days that I go out and do my stretches and relaxation moves and then just pick out the colors as I go. I have no idea what will come out of me or if it is destined for other expression. this is layer one of acrylic and mixed medium for texture. Well layer one after the random mark making which of course is so relaxing. I don’t know where it will go but I do know it revealed to me that I am redeemed through Christ!! And God is good! This message must be needed in my day to day. My songs on shuffle also filled my heart with happy. I love to paint!!!!
