Group Show

It has been a few weeks since I last blogged and in the interim, Sam has had her ups and downs, with medication adjustments a wonderful visit from her close friend Lisa and one-on-one painting classes with Dahalia in Inner Art. Over the last few weeks Sam has overall been very tired, upset and rather depressed. However with some slight medication adjustments, she seems back on the right track. Sam and I recently got checked off on doing transfer training. This means that I can now take Sam off the premises, take her for drives or even for an overnight at home. I've decided to start out slowly with Sam and so this weekend, which was sunny and beautiful was the first weekend we were able to go out the front door and we went all about the grounds of the facility. It was lovely. Also, over the last couple of weeks, Dahalia has decided that Sam works better without any distractions and so she has special one-on-one sessions with Sam 45 minutes before "Inner Art" class starts. Sam loves the privacy and is doing some nice abstract paintings. Dahalia wanted me to participate this weekend and so with Sam's approval, I painted alongside. Sam really enjoyed having me participate. Dahalia is planning a group show of all the student's work and Sam is excited about it. I think it will be great to see Sam's progression over the last few months and all her work up on the walls. If I keep participating, I too might be in the show.
