Happy Nurses week and happy birthday Florence Nightingale!! This is my largest size drawing ever.. It took a lot of coordination with all the hospital floors to make this all happen in only 1 weeks time! It was a fun experience to run up and down the floors and run outside to see if things were looking alright.. it was nice to meet lots of new and old staff members while working this all out.. We all worked so hard during this Pandemic so I think we all deserved a little inspiration to persevere! Thanks to all my coworkers in the past, present, and the coming future. Thanks to Thedacare regional medical center management for letting me draw on their windows. Thanks to my family and my special lady, Jennifer, for all the loving support in my artistic endeavors. . . . . . #nurse #nursesweek #nurselife #nursesday #nursesofinstagram #nurseday #nurses #nurse# #hospital #hospitalmural #mural #muralart #murals #muralpainting #windowart #windowartist #windowart #thedacare #thedacareappleton #streetart #art #artwork #florencenightingale #nurseday2021 #nurseweek2021 #drawing #painting #cartoon #covid_19 #covid (at ThedaCare Regional Medical Center-Appleton) https://www.instagram.com/p/COx4tSfjSix/?igshid=1mx04mkds2j10
My completed mural commission for a maternity ward bereavement suite. I was honoured to work on this project (a topic close to my heart) and pleased there is a facility like this with amazing people leading and supporting it. The quote was part of the initial commission, the gold discs feature different sized footprints, relating to and acknowledging baby loss at all stages.The gold on the tree represents kintsugi (a Japanese art form where broken ceramics are put back together with precious metals) which symbolises loss, brokenness, healing, remembering and strength. www.bethlouella.com (link in bio) #mural #hospitalmural #hospital #bereavement #babyloss #maternity #loss #grief #loveandpeace #love #healing #kintsugi #rebuilding #footprints #babylossawareness #miscarriage #stillbirth #midwives #faith #spiritual #healingart #beth_louella_art #celebrateart #artist #painter #fineart #bereavementroom #bereavementsuite #kintsugitree #remember https://www.instagram.com/p/BysD1WPJ803/?igshid=tl0x0r9m0zi4
#all patients have different conditions but everyone says “thank you for the beautiful 🌸 flowers.” and give me smiles...I realized that people don’t hate the person who decorate flowers for their rooms. 認知症の患者さんの症状は、怒っていたり、恨んでいたり、嘆いていたり、十人十色だけれど、私に皆笑いかけてくださり、「きれいな花をありがとう🌸」と感謝してくださる。。人は自分の部屋に花を運んでくる人を嫌いにはならないのだなぁと思いました。
Day 6: One of the senile dementia patients brought me an invisible cup of green tea very politely, sat in Japanese way and told me “thank you for painting. It is so beautiful. I’m sorry I only have one cup of tea, but please take a break and enjoy.” I also sat down in very polite tea ceremony way, and told her how much I appreciated her kindness, and enjoyed the invisible tea. It made my day❤️!
