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:
pinterest
my wesite








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

wedding picnic

I finished my commissioned painting of little white dog Coco. It is a full and festive tiny space with 19 figures in one small painting. I made it soft in pallet and a whirlwind of motion.

consolidating my blogs

I am consolidating my blogs.




I was posting blog pages on the home page of my website, updating them and erasing so there was no history of what had happened.

I was also making a long one page scrolling blog that I added onto the top of on the me page of my website.

I also had a blogger blog that I had trouble accessing because goofy me I was trying to add post onto it in my google page.

 So I am starting fresh, just copy and pasting the posts that remain from this summer.  I am setting the dates in the schedule from when I wrote them. I am only posting in this one spot from now on.  I didn't think I was a blog person but because I kept making bloggy stuff I guess I am. Now it all has its own virtual spot.
