VIDEO MEMOIRS

recollections of nancy glazier

My very favorite story of Grandma that has set me on the course of my life, I like to share with you. I always wanted to draw and to paint. And I know there are many of you here that understand that. And I had this dream of getting oil paints. Now, you know when we are kids, we start pestering our parent’s for something “Oh mom, oh dad, I have to have oil paints.” 

“OK. Well, we’ll think about it, and we’ll work on it.” 

And I guess I was impatient, and it didn’t happen fast enough. And it seemed to me it was years that went by, but it probably wasn’t that long. But that dream was so strong. And finally Grandma came to visit. And I got Grandma aside. And I said “Grandma, I have to talk to you privately. Grandma, I really I want oil paints so badly. And I’ve talked to mom and dad. And I’ve talked to them, and nothing’s happening, Grandma. Can you make something happen?” And we know that sparkle that gets in those blue eyes. She patted my hand and she said “We’ll see what we can do.” And it wasn’t too much longer and Grandma said “Let’s go out to lunch.” So she took me by my hand. I think I was 8 or 10. I was young. She said “Let’s go out to lunch.” And after lunch she said “Let’s go for a walk.” We were standing in front of an art store. She opened the doors and said “Let’s go in.” And I remember the smell of the oil paints for the first time. She said “Here is a sales lady. I’ve talked to her. And she will get you everything you need to get started with your oil painting.” And, anyway, that’s how it all started. And if you ever see a painting by Nancy Glazier, you’ll see a reflection of Grandma’s love in that. You know she listened to the hearts of children, and she understood. They say that the best reward for loving is being well-loved. Grandma is as alive in my heart as she ever was. I feel such joy for her. 

Nancy Glazier is one of the most renowned wildlife artists in America. Glazier paints everything from buffalo to polar bears, but her favorite subjects are horses, wolves, foxes and coyotes. It's not only the animals' physical splendor that attracts Glazier, it is also their spirit.
