David Desjardins – Union, ME

I consider myself to be a very positive and optimistic person, but it was difficult maintaining that attitude when I first learned of my diagnosis, even for me! I admit that I have a few “blue” days from time to time, but I choose not to allow myself to wallow in self-pity – that’s a sight no one wants to see. I’ve always loved to paint, but in the past something always came up, demanding my immediate attention, taking me away from it. Now, however, I feel that I’m doing something creative with my time rather than giving in entirely to my illness.

I am so honored to participate in my seventh Art Showcase, and I am humbled to be in the company of so many talented artists. I used to paint only for my own enjoyment, but now when I hear how others enjoy my work it really makes my day!
