Obituary for Teresa L. Paladini

Teresa "Tess" Paladini passed away on October 28, 2018.
She is predeceased by her loving husband Bob "Poppy" Paladini
She is survived by her loving children grandchildren and great-grandchildren
Tess' life-long appreciation of Art inspired everyone she met.
She did not consider herself an artist but rather a "Sunday Painter".
Her work speaks for itself.
Gardening was a joy to her and Poppy, always with a color palette in mind.
They both were members of the Marion Bonsai Society in Florida.
Tess loved creating with the artists at Ocala Palms Watercolor and Oil Painting Group,
Ocala Art Group and the Appleton Museum where she frequently exhibited her work.

God blessed her with hands of gold as was said of her sister,Jessie, who predeceased her.

"Having been introduced to Art in my early years, I have been drawing and painting since I was young.
I grew up in New York and spent four years in Italy as a child. All my paintings represent some part of my life,
each holding a memory forever or releasing joy felt at the time. It helps me to capture my feelings
and moods. I can lose myself for minutes and hours at a time. I feel I am still young in creativity
I've only just begun to express myself..."

Tess


From Tess' favorite book:

"So beautiful is the still hour of the sea's withdrawal, as beautiful as the sea's return
when encroaching waves pound up the beach, pressing to reach those dark rumpled chains of
seaweed which mark the last high tide.
Simply the memory that each cycle of the tide is valid; each cycle of the wave is valid;
each cycle of a relationship is valid. And my shells? I can sweep them all into my pocket.
They are only there to remind me that the sea recedes and returns eternally."
