New Paintings, Work in Progress and the odd Reflection

Another Party
Well the party continues. By that I mean I start out to paint a party girl and somehow along the way the painting gets a little sad a little wistful. I call this one "Betty And Bea". It's painted on 8 x 10 x 3/4 in plywood.
I was raised on a family farm in Ontario, Canada. As a child I tramped through the fields, hid in big old maple trees and drew and read and dreamed. I've been blessed with a patient husband who continues to surprise and support me. Together with our four kids we have loved and lost the likely assortment of dogs, cats, rabbits, fish, lizards and rodents that come with the territory.
For more years than I like to count, I was a "non practicing artist". As the poets say, the work paid the bills but starved the spirit. With those days behind me, here I am, finally, thankfully, the artist and domestic goddess I just know I was born to be.
