Big 2 Show at Tannery Row

Eight for a Wish- acrylic

This was based on the childrens rhyme about crows:
"One for sorrow, two for joy, three for a girl, and four for a boy,
five for silver, six for gold, seven for secrets never told.
Eight for a wish and nine for a kiss, and ten for a time for joyous bliss."
According to a friend I should have called it Egdar Allen Crow! haha!
I had so much fun at The Big 2 Show at Tannery Row and this piece won! What an immense thrill!

When Eduardo Found Lupita- acrylic

This was the other entry; both were 3 feet X 4 feet!
I love the movement and flow of latin dancers, and I tried to
capture that mood.And it was a tribute to one of the best dancers
I know-my mom in law Lupita Bland

Weaves and Things

Music Festival over...sigh, fun but oh so hard. I'm switching back into mommy/art mode and it feels so good. Peace and quiet in the studio, but crazy overactive mind! Here I am trying to just calm it, and paint out all the busyness and swirling ideas. I've never done a series, but I like the weaves.....




Weave in me, Your mystery
knit my limbs with Your peace,
The stars will accompany me,
for i am rooted deep in Thee.....


And Guacamole in my dreams...i miss Nicaraguan avacados!

....and then swirly, twirly brain waves...


There are 2 more in this series, but the camera died...i will get them on later :)
