Naturally Inspired by the Sea

From beginning to end, this painting bewitched me.  I loved every minute of the detail, the waves, the colors and the serenity it brings.  Even though I a not a swimmer, the sea is calming and beautifully brilliant, a place I love to visit with family and an influence I compare with the Holy Spirit.

"Mother and Child Nursing"

10" x 10"  colored pencil  $200.00 matted and framed

When my daughter had her new baby boy, who is now 17 years old, I thought they looked so precious together in the hospital.    Colored pencil is the perfect medium for a tender drawing.

I can almost still smell the sweet breath, feel the soft skin and fuzzy little head.  If you are a parent you understand.

"Little Punkins"

11" x 14"  watercolor unfinished 

I am creating this portrait of my niece's new daughter for a demo I will be doing at the Pike's Peak Watercolor Society metting on May 16, at the Cottonwood Center for the Arts in Colorado Springs, CO.  My niece, who is also my namesake has four natural children and 2 beautiful adopted children.  She takes the most wonderful photos, and I am taking advantage of it.  They had gone to the pumpkin farm in the bright sunshine, and everything just glowed.  I am so happy for her and for the children.
