        Hello, WetCanvas friends of June,

        This is her daughter Ann. As I’m not familiar with the WetCanvas platform, please forgive me if I’ve posted this in the wrong forum.

        I’m saddened to say my mom passed away yesterday. She had been ill for a long time and had been struggling these past few months. She regarded WetCanvas and the friends she made here as a lifeline, both as a way to keep connected to the art form she loved so much and as a way to keep up with the friends she made all over the world. She was a regular here and loved to tell me about the gardens of her friends in Canada, the cats (oh, the cats!), and enjoyed sharing her work and thoughts with all of you.

        Thank you for being such a part of her life. I don’t know you, but I’m grateful.

        With love and gratitude, Ann Pryor

            Oh I am so saddened to hear this. Please know that she was a delightful, funny and fun contributor to WetCanvas. Her art was so beautiful. June will be missed. Condolences to you and all her family.

            My very sincere sympathies Ann, we know your name even though you have not met us. June was a wonderful painter and personality, we will all miss her presence, even though most of us have never met her in person. Many hugs :heart: :grouphug: :heart:

            Cheers, Lynn

                Dear Ann,

                I am so, so sad to learn of June’s leaving us. She has been in my thoughts every day in the recent months that have been so hard for her. June was one of the very few people I know anymore who lived (as I did) through WW2 and whose parents survived the Great Depression. And I grew up in New Canaan, which is the home of my heart.

                I know it was hard for her as an independent woman to accept the help you so thoughtfully arranged for her and how she lived for your weekly visits. It was wonderful to hear from her that she had managed to prepare family favorite dishes as recently as Christmas, despite the wheelchair and her frightening surgery.

                Like everyone here, all of whom have felt privileged to “know” June,
                I am weeping for my loss —- and yours.

                Thank you for letting us know, Ann.

                Lynn/LC

                My deepest condolences at the loss of your dear mother a very long standing member of our group. Sad to hear she finally succumbed to her illness. She will be sadly missed.

                Dear Ann,

                My sincere condolences 💗

                I’ve known your mother through Wet Canvas for many years. Her artwork is fabulous and she taught me a lot about watercolour all those years ago. I have a lot of love for her.

                Much love to you

                Rest well June xx

                Ann….I never had the privilege of meeting June in person, but knew her through our Daily Wash group. She was always kind, gentle and encouraging to us all. Our deepest sympathies and condolences to you and her family…..physically absent, yet present in everyone’s memories and love for her.

                Rest in Peace June.

                    Dear Ann, my heart is heavy with your sad news. My condolences to you and yours who cared for her so much. She spoke of you often and with love.

                    She was not only a very talented Artist but an inspiration to so many. She always shared her knowledge with others helping them grow their art.

                    It’s my hope that she’s painting the clouds with Louis by her side. :heart:

                        Ann, I am so sorry to hear of your mother’s passing. Her posts were so special. Every time a storm would hit her area, I worried about her and held my breath until she posted. She will be missed. Please know that she loved you so much.

                                That is sad to hear :( She posted her paintings regularly… and me being about half her age, it was always an inspiration…
