    You have a very strong and convincing way of depicting psychological themes. This gives such a great insight in this state of mind.

    Now you have made me cry. It’s like I’m looking at my life on your canvas. I do know that this isn’t my life..it’s yours, it’s just so ironic, you’ve captured what I go/have gone through so well. I am going to send you a private email, I want to talk to you about the possibility of a commission. ~ Kath

    oh the plasters on the feet?

  • helene ruiz replied

    yes….due to my spinal injuries..when i started walking again i was putting pressure on my feet in a different way than my body was used to, so all the metatarsals separated…thought i had stepped on glass or something, kept feeling like a piece of glass in the bottom of my feet,,,well it was actually the bones coming thru …they had to re-align everything with metal wires, plates and screws…I never wanna do that one again! lol…..still have a lot of pain….i love to walk but it is not very easy….cnat to the hot sand at all…the metal is like fire and in the cold it is like ice…ahhhhh but….i look at it like this, at least I AM WALKING!!! whew….......

    I would not dare to complain any more..
    but the fact is…that..
    I do.
    Pain comes in an absorted way,
    and demands no reason.
    Not hard pains..
    but pains of daily routines.Pains of tiredness..
    pains of rigidity of heart… sometimes.
    I can see you..
    feel for you,
    my care..
    but I guess.. we cannot share the saem pain.
    But well… may be being here..
    before your mirror..
    it will do soothe yours.
    Rosa (as usual… your testimmony is hair raising.. but very tender at the same time..)

    Both feet !!!??? Awwwwwww now that truly SUX ! Hope yr all better now ? Can i ask what happened ?
    X’s

  • helene ruiz replied

    it all begain in 2001 when i got spinal cord injuries from an accident which left me unable to walk for about 2 yrs….when i started walking again it was putting a pressure on my feet and legs in a way my body wasnt used to … at first i thought i had stepped on glass but the xrays showed it was actually my bones coming thru the bottom of my feet as all my metatarsals separated so i had to have surgery to re-wire everything again…lol…its a long story and this is only one part of it….but hey i live with pain but am grateful to be walking again…so i paint and i paint and i paint … it has become my medication i guess….and it is what saved my life and still does….i cannot imagine what or where i’d be if i couldnt express myself thru my art…this is why my work is not what you call “pretty”...reality is not always “pretty”.. at least not my reality….

  • SaRaHKnOwDoG

    SaRaHKnOwDoG

    Intense !!!!!!!!!!! I am glad you paint and paint and paint : ) Glad to hear yr walking too : ]
    I will think of you when i whinge about my injury’s because they are nothing compared to yours ….... My injury’s are mostly healed and i can walk and see.
    Love yr painting style and thanx for sharing.
