JoJo and his helper, preparing to paint
Hana and the artwork she purchased from the artist
Loved being at St. Vincent's again today. (Technically it was yesterday, but who's splitting hairs?) There are 280 children there now and we got to meet every one of them as well as all of the teachers and quite a few of the non-teaching staff. But that's a story for another post.
Today, JoJo allowed us to watch him working on his latest canvas. What a blessing.
He has a tub full of acrylic paints and several deaf and mute "helpers" that aid him in set up and preparation to work. He is proud of his fold up easel and his helpers treat it with care.
He spoke to us the entire time he painted and shared some of the things he did when Sister Joan was alive. He also gave a graphic depiction of his experience the day of the earthquake and the surrounding months.

(Author's note: being an artist myself, I am planning to surprise him with some of my favorite brand of acrylic paints and possibly some brushes)
