California Painted Silk

California Painted Silk AnnaGeorgeOnline and CaliforniaPaintedSilk grew out of the fine art painting of Anna George, a veteran brush wielder.

The paints have flowed adventurously since 1993.

The time has arrived to visit with women who are hospitalized this season. They, along with those who've lost hair in medical treatment, will receive an original painted scarf from me to brighten their day/their stay.

Best ways to participate in the world? I want more businesses--every size--and individuals to help where it counts, motivated by that purpose (not just tax savings). It's now time for me to give more silks to women who've lost hair in cancer treatment. One goes out for every ten purchased. It's always time to give, actually. It's always time to paint, too.

Grapes in organic color...
Grapes on their vines, grapes made into wines, all part of life as we acquire grapes by the ton and make some delicious reds and whites. It's fun to crush, bottle, and savor. Have designed winery labels for certified wineries too.

December 25th, 2pm: Visited ladies undergoing treatment at Kaiser, Walnut Creek. After spending time with each one, I offered a new, painted silk scarf. One from Rossmoor was fighting liver failure; an avid gardener and former tennis player needed a stint after a second stroke; another had renal issues requiring dialysis. They chose from a dozen or so silks. The surprise did uplift. Hope their healing is swift.

Fun showing my silkwear and working alongside another great group this weekend at the City of Lafayette's traditional holiday event. Cookies from great ovens abounded, the event was a great success, and Judy made it all appear supremely easy.

appreciates Thursday at UCSF Medical Center, on Divisadero. So worthwhile. The people at UCSF are terrific--good conversations with a number of visitors, hospital staff, and patients. A lot of big hearts in a very good day. Thanks Chris, Janet, Helene, and Katrina!

Lots of steps between painting and presenting. The painting is the best. One night last week I told myself I'd just do a little painting, and I just kept going--until dawn--and every minute felt exhilarating. In the midst of it I thought this right now is quality of life. Maybe perfection in experience. That I liked the work I did that night quite a lot is a bonus. Some ground-breaking innovation. Yes to that!
