Out of Darkness

I have always heard paint your feelings. I am mostly happy and it is reflected in my paintings. May fourth of this year I lost my sweet Daddy. He was 95 years old. He still had his driver's license, still lived in his home with his wife of 62 years (my Mom). I was a Daddy's girl to the max. I will always miss him and cherish the memories we had. This painting: "Out of Darkness" is watercolor on yupo paper. It conveys the somber lost feelings of losing someone  you love. The light piercing  through the darkness is the hope I have of not remaining here in this dark place and time.

Bliss

You can only imagine with a name like "Bliss", what a wonderful cat to know! Intense eyes and the softest fur in every shade of grey. I painted bliss six times and on the seventh go, finally nailed it. MaimeriBlu watercolors on watercolor paper.

Eventide

Eventide, somewhere between sunset and dusk, does not last long enough. It is way too short a time when you are looking over the water on a balmy evening. I keep those moments tucked away in my heart! 11 x 14 original painting on watercolor paper using FW inks.
