A New World

6"x6" oil

I reworked an old painting.  I liked the figure of the woman and baby but didn't like the environment she was in so I decided on a soft ethereal world.  Of course everything is new for a baby, but I think that a new mother also experiences the world in a new and different way, as the surrounding take less precedent over the world of love and responsibility you feel for this vulnerable and fresh creature.

Mother and Child

6"x6" oil

I just keep working on this one...it is getting better, but who knows...I may continue to mess with it....sometimes there is one I should have wiped....but instead I never let it go. Does this happen to you?

Grandma Barbie 4"x4" oil

This is my sister who goes by Barb or Barbara but we remember her as Barbie.  Hard to believe that she has raised 7 kids and is a grandma.  Recently someone said to me that they thought I painted people from the back so I wouldn't have to deal with their faces.  Actually I love doing portraits but some are harder than others.  I found that painting my sisters was really hard and have decided to re-paint them to show how beautiful they are.
