I'm Back!

"Semper Fi"
Acrylic 12"x16" Canvas

I am happy to report I am back.  So sorry not to be blogging for just about a year.  I had some serious health issues that I am thrilled to say, after surgery, I am much better and moving forward.  I am on Facebook and have posted a few paintings.  If you wish friend me at "Michael East Boston." I am hoping to do more work soon and return to active blogging. Hope all are well.

It has been such a long time I am not sure if I have already posted this image.  Painting I finished recently to honor my brother's passing. It is of his backyard in Hull, Massachusetts. I recently gave it to his wife at the memorial service to commemorate the first anniversary of his death. He loved being a Marine.  Semper Fi Sgt. James Perchard USMC

  1. Bonjour cher ami,

    Je suis très heureuse d'apprendre que vous nous revenez après une période difficile. J'espère que vous allez mieux et que cette chirurgie ne sera plus qu'un mauvais souvenir.

    C'est une très belle oeuvre et un hommage émouvant à votre frère. Son épouse peut être fière de recevoir un tel présent.
    J'aime la lumière qui illumine cette peinture.

    Gros bisous 🎀

  3. Hi Michael, great to see you back again! This painting is beautiful, I can feel the breeze coming in off the ocean and feel the lovely sunshine.
    I'm sure your sister-in-law loved being presented with such a beautiful piece of art.
    So glad that your health is so much better now.
    Your Aussie art buddy (albeit a fairly inactive one these days - artwise that is!:))

    So nice to see you back Michael! Missed ya art buddy!
    I have checked in every so often and wondered. Thought maybe you abandoned blogging for FB?
    Happy to hear you are on the mend, didn't know you were having health issues.
    Sorry about your brother too but I do love the painting in his honor. Stoic like our Marine Corp. Love our marines, army, navy and all they do for us.
    Keep painting...

    1. Hi David! So very sorry late with this reply. Thank you for your very kind words. I miss you also buddy. I so miss my active blogging days. I am on FB. Not posting much. Tired. Doing some painting but not "finishing" many. Lately painting very loose oceanic cosmos type images? Fun! I am glad you liked that painting. My brother loved the Marines. He taught me, his hippy type brother so much! Especially to see the many sides of any issue. I am doing much better after surgery. Are you on facebook David? If so please friend me. "Michael East Boston" Take care my southwest coast ocean loving true grit wonderful artist art buddy! Paint on Michael!

  6. I want someone here suffering from any disease to heal from my story after Hiv disease for the last 3 years and having hard to eat and cough are nightmares,especially the first year. At this stage, the immune system is severely weakened, and the risk of contracting opportunistic infections is much greater. However, not everyone with HIV will go on to develop AIDS. The earlier you receive treatment, the better your outcome will be.I started taking ARV to avoid early death but I had faith in God that i would be healed someday.As a Hiv patient we are advise to be taking antiretroviral treatments to reduce our chance of transmitting the virus to others , few weeks ago i came on search on the internet if i could get any information on Hiv treatment with herbal medicine, on my search i saw a testimony of someone who has been healed from Hiv her name was Achima Abelard and other Herpes Virus patient Tasha Moore also giving testimony about this same man,Called Dr Itua Herbal treatment.I was moved by the testimony and i contacted him by his Email.drituaherbalcenter@gmail.com/ www.drituaherbalcenter.com. We chatted and he send me a bottle of herbal medicine I drank it as he instructed me to.After drinking it he ask me to go for a test that how i ended my suffering life of Hiv patent,I'm cured and free of Arv Pills.I'm forever grateful to him Doctor Itua Herbal Treatment..He assured me he can cure the following disease..Hiv,Cancer,Herpes Virus,Hpv,Pile,Weak Erection,Lyme Disease,Epilepsy,Glaucoma.,Brain Tumor,psoriasis, Cataracts,Macular degeneration,Cardiovascular disease,Chronic Diarrhea,Lung disease.Enlarged prostate,Osteoporosis.Alzheimer's disease
