Orange Kitties

My little grandniece commissioned these orange kitties.

Before the Sermon

Portrait of my husband studying his notes before a sermon.

I was experimenting with the texture tools. I'm not fond of my background here but now I know what to do on the next one. It's fun to experiment with the tools and the brush tool really helped with the hair. I may go back in and make changes on this one although Mom Michael, my mother-in-law, loves it as it is.

The Eyes Have It

Learning to use the ArtFlow app on my tablet I had to start the practice somewhere, so these art practice eyes. The ones that are in color are the same piece in different stages.

Day Out with Poppy

"Day Out with Poppy" is a pencil drawing from September 1998. It's about my dad and my daughter's relationship. She was the only grandchild for seven years. If we were in the same city, as long as he could drive---and she is the only grandchild who can remember when he could-- they were on the road together playing at the park, going to the store for forbidden treats or anywhere. 

Roles reversed when she was older, as he could no longer walk or feed himself, she did that for him until he passed away in 2007. This is the only piece of my art in my family room. The glass was cracked as it was transported from an exhibit. I have to choose just the right frame before having it remounted.
