16"x 16"
Oil and Paper on Canvas

In addition to the larger pieces for my June show, I have begun working on several mid-size pieces as well. I am really trying to experiment with these, and that has included playing with the background. For this piece, I covered the canvas with pages from children's stories. I loved the innocence of eating an ice cream (and licking it off your arm) in conjunction with the whimsy of well known fairy tales.

Hello friends! An injured thumb has slowed up my painting a bit (and my typing- it has taken a while to write this sentence!) But, I am very excited about the direction my new pieces are going. Hope you will stay tuned, and I will have more details about my next show as the date approaches.

"In the Arms of a Mother"


6"x 6"
Graphite on Mat board
$80

To purchase, email me with the title in the subject line.

This is just such a sweet, tender moment. I don't think it reads as well on the computer, but there is quite a bit of texture in that deep black background. I left the border on this one so you could see my fingerprint smudges and where I scribbled down the title so that I wouldn't forget it by the time I finished.

"To Be So Innocent"


6"x 6"
Graphite on Mat board
$80

To purchase, email me with the title in the subject line.

I haven't really sat and drawn much recently, but I spent much of the weekend working on a drawing for a friend and really enjoyed it. That prompted me to do this piece. This was done from a very tiny picture of my mom as a little girl. I love the massive size of the bed as compared to her. I also love the fact that she is about the same size as the teddy bear!
