Alabama Project SHARE stories: Loretta Scott - Alabama NewsCenter

Alabama Project SHARE stories: Loretta Scott By Carla Davis July 13, 2021 Loretta Scott once gave to Project SHARE never thinking she would benefit from the program someday. (Alabama NewsCenter) When circumstances in life become overwhelming, you have to take the “p” off of pride and find somebody to help you ride and rise above them. That’s the view of Loretta Scott, who has turned to Project SHARE when life’s crises made paying her energy bills almost impossible. Over the years, Scott, 70, has survived ovarian cancer, a stroke and three tornadoes. The twisters in 2011 and 2015 destroyed her Birmingham-area homes and laid additional financial burdens on her shoulders. But Project SHARE became a true “lifeline” when she needed electricity to keep her son alive.

Capturing the Beauty of the Botanical Gardens

Alabama Newscenter One of an artist’s biggest challenges, Birmingham watercolorist Gail Cosby will tell you, can be deciding what to paint. So this past spring, when considering inspiring locations for fellow members of Alabama Plein Air Artists to spend a day drawing or painting in nature, Cosby turned to a vibrant subject she has walked and painted for 45 years. “The nice thing about the Gardens is there is always something blooming here, and for an artist, that means great color,” she says of the Birmingham Botanical Gardens. “When you’re doing a painting, a lot of artists look for masses of color, or they look for interesting structures like the torii (gate) at the entrance to the Japanese Garden. I’ve actually, in the past, painted the Lady Banks roses on the big arbor in the Dunn Formal Rose Garden. When they’re blooming, they’re just beautiful.”
