For My Mother-in-Law, Mary Louise Freeman.

 It's been a very sad year.  Today, December 7th, would have been both my Mother and Father-in-law's birthday.  I'm sorry to say that my Mother-in-law,  Mary Louise Freeman passed away on October 15, 2017.   I was still grieving for my Father who had passed away only four months before on June 19th.  I have not posted about Mary Louise's passing until now I think, because I am still grieving for both of them.  We were in Florida with my Mom, helping take care of things and having Daddy's memorial.  After we left Florida in July, we flew to Indiana to visit with Mary Louise.  She was always happy to see you even if she didn't always remember who you were.  We spent as much time with her as we could.  I knew in the back of my mind that this could be the last time we would see her.  At 97, that's always a chance.  She had become very frail.  As always, she looked really nice with her big smile.  She always talked about how she and Herb were so happy together and how happy she was that Wayne and I had found each other.  She told us that Herb visited her often!  (Herb passed away in September 2012.)

 Mary Louise and son Wayne (Tony) Freeman, November 2014

 Mary Louise was so kind to me and always asked after my family.  One of her biggest joys was seeing Wayne and I happy together,  just like she and Herb were.  She was a people person and always wanted to led a hand at helping you do anything.  She loved to talk to people and was quite the social butterfly.  She was a very good cook and made the best muffins among other things!  She taught her son well and made sure he gave women the respect they deserved.  She and Herb were still so much in love and were such a role model for a great relationship and marriage that I often told her what a good job she did in making her son the man he became.

I'm sending my love to you, Mary Louise, on your next journey.  Happy Birthday to both of you, I hope you both are having the best celebration today, together at last!   You will be missed!

Mary Louise and Herbert E. Freeman.  Mary Louise would have been 98, and Herb would have been 99 on December 7th 2017.

The following is the obituary written by my husband, Wayne Freeman for his Mother, Mary Louise Freeman.   Obituary Link

Mary Louise Freeman, Age 97, passed away peacefully on Sunday, October 15, 2017 at Pulaski Health Care Center in Winamac, Indiana.
Mary Louise was born on December 7, 1919 in Knox, Indiana to Chester and Ermal Pettis.
Mary Louise graduated from Knox High School, Class of 1937. Following graduation, she worked as a secretary at Taitel's Garment Factory in Knox for several years. She married Herbert E. Freeman of Winamac on September 13, 1940. When Herb enlisted in the Army Air Corps in 1943, Mary Louise followed him to Phoenix, Arizona where he was undergoing his advanced training at Luke Field, and got a job as a secretary on base. At the end of the war, she returned home to Knox and awaited Herb's discharge.
Several years later, Mary Louise and Herb moved to North Judson and bought Modern Chevrolet from Roy Eichstadt and together they ran that business until their retirement in 1984. In particular, she was the unofficial "social coordinator" during each and every new car model show for their entire career.
Mary Louise was active in the community, had many friends and was a member of Eastern Star and the American Legion Auxiliary. She loved being with friends and family, entertaining, rooting for NJSPHS basketball, playing cribbage and traveling.
Mary Louise will be remembered by those who knew her for her graciousness, kindness and warm heart. She is survived by her son Anthony Freeman of Everett, Washington. She was preceded in death by her sister Eileen, her parents and her husband of very nearly 72 years, Herb.
Per Mary Louise's and Herb's wishes, an American Legion graveside service will be held at Highland Cemetery in North Judson on November 4, 2017 at 10:00am. In lieu of flowers, friends may express condolences via memorial contributions to the North Judson San Pierre High School Athletic Department or the Starke County Historical Society.

Tribute to my Dad, John Alexander Hays 1929 - 2017

It's with a heavy heart that I am announcing the passing of my Father, John Alexander Hays, 87, who passed on June 19th, 2017.  I've been in Florida helping my Mom take care of the funeral arrangements and the memorial service.  It's been a very difficult time for all of us.  My Dad had dementia for the last several years and my Mom had been caring for him at home.  My sister, Jennifer, was the driver in the family so she was running errands for food, doctors appointments and prescription pick-ups.  It's been a tough struggle with lots of challenges for all of us.  It's a terrible disease and one you would never want your loved one to have and to never have yourself.  I want to remember my Dad when he was more than this disease,  when he was fun, creative and loved to do so many things. 

My Dad was born on August 5th, 1929 in Franklin County, Pennsylvania.  His Mother was Helen A. Suders and his Father, Percy W. Hays.  He had five sisters, Marion, Agnes, Virginia, Ruth and Gloria, also two brothers, Bill, and Jim. 

My Dad and Mom on one of our trips to visit in March 2014

My Dad's passing happened very quickly.  I talked to him that very day, Fathers' Day, June 18th.  Later that same evening my sister called and said they had called 911, that Daddy had fallen and had been taken to the hospital.  When I next heard from her, it was with very bad news, he wasn't expected to make it, he had had a pulmonary embolism, along with other contributing conditions.  The next morning, he had passed on, it was his time to go.  That was on Monday.  Wayne quickly made travel arrangements and we arrived in Winter Park late Wednesday night. 

I have to say, so many people were helpful in guiding us in the right direction in carrying out the process of what to do next.  The folks at Florida Hospital and A Community Funeral Home were so helpful and professional.  We set up the arrangements for a memorial at the Maranatha Fellowship Church, that my folks attended.  Pastor Steve Graves and his wife Joyce were so thoughtful, asking the right questions and helping us plan the memorial.  Also, a big thanks to Carol and Ken Whitlock for the home visits and drives to and from church.  My Dad always enjoyed your visits.

I made a collage of photos for the memorial service.  It was very therapeutic for me to look through all the photos that Daddy placed in albums.  Unfortunately, they were not sorted so I never knew what was coming up next!  I used a tri-fold black poster board as a support.  I wanted to tell a story of my Dad from photos of him as a boy to a young man. Then on to photos of him with my Mom, then the three of us, then the birth of my sister, Jennifer makes four of us, then my daughter, Regina, the grandchild makes five.  Also included were photos of him with all his siblings, then of all of us as adults with our husbands.  These I arranged in the center area. 

On the left side I had photos of the house and the garden.  He was always working on or growing something!  Planning of the garden was a big deal!  I included a photo of both Mom and Daddy with their  company truck, Hays Pest Control.  He and my Mom both worked in their business, day in and day out, together for many years until their retirement.  On the right side, I included things he liked to do, with photos of his workshop and a few of the many things he made, from cabinets to wooden cars.  He loved to cook and bake, especially bread.  Fishing was also a favorite past time and I even found that photo of the largest fish he ever caught!   Proof and not just "another fish tale"!  In these photos, I found out things I didn't know and rediscovered things I had forgotten about.

I also found the article of when my folks lost everything in a house fire when I was a baby.  The house was listed as being in Mercersburg, PA.  I always thought the house was somewhere else near Ft. Loundon.  My Dad jumped out of the second story window with me in his arms!

Adding the letters and feathers made it complete.  I would not have gotten through all this were it not for my husband, Wayne.  He was always there with a hug and another pair of hands to do whatever was needed.   He made the travel arrangements, drove me everywhere I needed to be, helped with the cooking and gave support when the challenges felt overwhelming. He's still helping me with the tangle of insurance and other paperwork that needs to be gotten through!  Mom told me she was so glad we had each other.  Yes, Mom, me too!  He is a keeper for sure!

Above is the altar arrangement before the services.  The framed photo of my Dad is from the 70's.  The votive holder was also made by him, he made one for all of us.  Then, right of that is one of the smaller cars he made.  It was my Mom's favorite.

Pastor Steve Graves getting started.

He did a wonderful service, had us laughing and crying, sometimes at the same time.  My Dad would have loved it!  My heartfelt thanks goes to Paster Steve Graves and his wife, Joyce for the help and support they gave us and the wonderful service and memorial for my Dad.  Thanks to Joyce for leading us in song as we sang some of my Dad's favorites.  I know he heard us!  They had a lovely lunch set up for us afterwards and my Mom said how she knew my Dad would have been so pleased with everything.   

Some neighbors and friends stopping to meet and give condolences. 

My Mom and Dad still in love after 68 years of marriage.  They set a wonderful example of love and partnership.  Daddy, we will all miss you.  We send you on your way with love in our hearts for your next journey to a better place... follow the light.  You will be remembered.

Below is the obituary I placed on the website of acommunityfuneralhome.com.

John A Hays born in Franklin County, PA, August 5th 1929 to Helen A (Sutters) and Percy W Hays of Mercersburg PA, passed away June 19th 2017 at the age of 87. He is survived by his wife Dorothy M (Starliper) Hays, daughters Barbara A Freeman, Everett WA, Jennifer L Taber, Orlando FL, granddaughter Regina A Ballew, Everett WA, sister Gloria Hawk, Chambersburg PA, brother William Hays, Ft Loudon, PA and many nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents and siblings, Marion Shindeldecker, Agnes Creager, Ruth Williams, Virginia Deshong, and Reverend James Hays. 

John and his family moved to Orlando FL in 1964 where he worked as a licensed pest control professional for Eagle Pest Control and later started his own business, Hays Pest Control which he operated until his retirement. John enjoyed fishing, gardening, bread baking, and woodworking. He attended Maranatha Fellowship Church. There will be a memorial service at the church on Thursday, June 29th, 11:30am. The family request that in lieu of flowers, donations be made to Maranatha Fellowship Church.

If you are interested, I have photographed as I was working to show the progression of each step.


This is the beginning of the drawing, working out the composition and where I want to go with it.  I rarely have the work completed in my mind before I start.  It's more of an idea that I build on as I go.


This is where I make sure the composition and placement of foliage are working well together.  Also, I worked out the ideas for her face and for her ear.  I drew the hummingbird separately, then was able to position it  where I considered the best placement to complete the composition.  At this point I am ready to transfer the image to my substrate, a smooth white panel called Claybord made by Ampersand.


I make the transfer the usual way, trace the drawing on tracing paper, then flipping over to the back and redrawing the lines with a soft pencil, then place on my board and tape to hold it down, then lightly redraw.  After the transfer to the panel, the real drawing begins.  I started on the ear and earring. These were fun to do.


I continued with the face and went on to the hair and shoulder.


More work giving the hair some movement.


A lot more work happening on the hair.


More hair shading and defining on the next photos.




Worked on the hand, flowers and leaves.


Hummingbird work in the next several images as well as the hand.




It was time to make the flowers, her neck and hand stand out by darkening the area surrounding them.  This part really made a difference!


Darkening the background was very time consuming as I had to go slow to keep the shading even.  Hard to stay awake doing this!


 I got very bold with the dark on the lower left.  It made me nervous, but I wanted her to pop!  I gave the work the  appearance of a vignette. At this point, the graphite was finished, time to spay it with workable fixative.


The last bit was deciding which strands of hair I wanted to make gold.  I first used Derwent Inktense pencils in a Mid Vermilion and Sun Yellow on the chosen strands.  Once done, I painted Iridescent Gold (fine) over the ink.  Then I finished it with several sprays of satin varnish to seal and protect it, just like I would a painting.

So there you have it, my work as it progressed.  As always, thank you for taking the time to read about my work.  Enjoy your summer!  Remember, support your local artists!

A Safe Haven - Twitter Art Exhibit - Stratford upon Avon UK - April 1st


A Safe Haven © Barbara A. Freeman, M.A.A.
 4 3/4"6 1/4" - (16x12 cm)  Graphite on Paper

Back in November I got some new paper to try out around the same time I saw the "call to artists" for the Twitter Art Exhibit. The call was for a postcard size original art, image only requiring no framing.  It was for the charity, Molly Olly's Wishes and was being held in Stratford upon Avon in the UK. (map) I worked on the drawing, liked the way it turned out and sent it off.  Because of this, several new things occurred.  I opened a twitter account, I tried out new paper, I sent my work to the UK, and I donated a work to a good cause!  It was fun and though larger than my usual miniatures, done in the same style I usually work.  The drawing I sent was, A Safe Haven.  The exhibit wall my postcard is on can be see here...A Safe Haven.  There are 1024 cards by artists from 62 countries in the show! I'm excited to be a part of this!

TwitterArtExhibit happens every year and is held in different countries for different charities.  Their motto is, “Through art we can change the world.”

#TwitterArtExhibit utilizes social media and public engagement to generate income for charities and nonprofit organizations.
• Artists worldwide donate postcard-sized, handmade original artwork to the #TAE17.
TwitterArtExhibit organizes a local, physical showcasing of the art.
• The public is invited to buy the art at an affordable, flat price.
• 100% of proceeds go to the charity.
• This provides artists with new exhibition opportunities, new audiences and benefactors, and appeals to art enthusiasts all over the world.
• It’s fun!

Opening Night Preview  - April 1st in Stratford upon Avon.  ALL the proceeds from the sale of the cards go directly to the charity. If you are attending the sale and plan on buying any art, please bring CASH.  (Cost of cards - £30 each of 4 for £100).
This event is FREE. Light refreshments available.

The TAE17 Exhibition will run April 2-19 at The ArtsHouse, 14 Rother Street, Stratford upon Avon. 10:00-4:00.

The charity, Molly Olly’s Wishes supports children with terminal or life threatening illnesses and their families.

The new paper is Stillman and Birn, Zeta Series, a wonderful heavyweight smooth paper.  I really like the way graphite glides across the paper and I can get dark, sharp details.  The paper is easy, the twitter account, not so much!  I'm still learning my way around twitter! I hope if you are in the UK you will check out the show!  

Working on finishing up my miniatures for the Seaside Art Gallery's annual miniature show in North Carolina and working on a larger work for the Art of the Garden show at the Schack in Everett. Thank you for taking the time to read about my work.  Happy Spring!
