Scarlett and The Blue Hydrangeas

scarlett-and-the-blue-hydrangeaThis is a new painting of Scarlett in Nanny and Grandpa’s backyard. Kind of reminds me of ‘Alice in Wonderland’, which really, when you think about it, describes Victoria perfectly.  It truly is a wonderland.

This is a 16″x16″ mixed media painting on  a 1″ deep wood stretcher.  The sides are painted red.

IF ‘Celebrate’ -Life’s First Breath

8-minutes-to-8-lifesfirst-breathsm Congratulations Penelope and Colin!  Life’s First Breath is always something to ‘celebrate’.  My  eldest daughter’s first breath was eight minutes to eight  in the morning and I am still celebrating the miracle of her birth five years ( and another daughter) later.

(Especially when she goes to bed on time).

Dylan, The Great … (Nephew That Is)

dylanHere is a painting of Dylan, another one of my wonderful nephews.  Don’t you just love his cheeky grin and the sparkle in his eye?  Kind of makes you wonder what he is going to get up to next!

Are n’t Scarlett and   Imogen lucky to have all these handsome older cousings?

Keep doing the great art work Dylan, Nanny tells me that you have a real talent!

Jacob – Portrait?

jacobThis is Jacob, my nephew.  I did this a while ago but just realized that I never posted it because it was a surprise Christmas present.

Portraits … they are a love hate thing for me.  I love painting children but portraits,  not so much.  To me, this is more of a painting, though it does look just like him, it catches something more.  His gentle, compassionate side.  His shyness, his intensity, his kindness.  He is a wonderful boy, he is so caring with Imogen and Scarlett, not to mention his two younger brothers.

AND he is my biggest fan!  (Hi Jacob!)

Imogen and Scarlett Sing

These are the girls…. but I need to qualify a couple of things.  We do not listen to Britney Spears, honest!  This is strictly a byproduct of the Wii and a really dumb dance game we rented.  Now it is all that they sing!  What happened to ‘twinkle, twinkle little star’ and ‘B-I-N-G-O’!?  The most embarrassing thing was when we were out eating dinner and ‘Oops’ came on and Imogen started to sing along, word for word!  The woman across from us  split a gut!

Really, we are good parents!

Oh, and that is Beijing Meow at he end.

Oh, and yes you ARE that innocent!
