Mother Gaze

I referenced my children's school Christmas concerts for these two paintings.

When I watch my children perform with others I have an intense gaze only on my child. Using paint I rendered my child in a realistic style and painted the other performers using blurry and sketchy techniques.

witches and cowboys

I have been sketching witches and cowboys. I am drawing the interaction between them, between the cats, dogs, babies, kids and adults. I am building a world of love, play and turmoil with the females being magical witches and the males being sturdy hardworking cowboys.

I have posted them on:

I am drawing this series during the blocks of time where I am waiting for my children to take their dance classes.
