With my Mom's illness, death and getting out of a really rough patch, I'm slowly getting back to painting.

I'm including a few paintings, sketches/studies done before and during the time she got seriously ill. It was pretty hard to concentrate during that time so many were just left in undone states until recently.

and this is the first completed painting from start to finish since she passed and yes, that's her as a child with her little friend in her favorite peaceful setting:

And this is the 2nd completed painting start to finish.

All are soft pastel except the hummer, which is watercolor and some wet pastel.

My New Year's resolution is to take my projects up a notch, paint.paint.paint and be bolder and not so shy about showing my work to others.

Thanks for looking and I hope you enjoy them!

Peace.

1. Love em. Great subjects. All of them are a "moment" we have all experienced.

2. Thanks applegrove...

I try to capture a likeness of what we all see but also the spiritual and emotional essence of what we can not see but can feel.

Glad you like them!

3. Reminds me of Alex Colville in the subjects you choose. His paintings were always an

emotional moment too. http://alexcolville.ca/gallery/
