art

after working on some projects for some friends (and now trying to brainstorm something for the new nursery in my brother in laws house) i have discovered how much i miss painting and getting to be creative. hopefully i'll be able to set aside time for myself to do some work in the future. it's like cheap(ish) in home therapy. and since most of these were done over a decade ago i know that the therapy lives on.

 my first initial, a quilt design (for my great grandmother), puzzle pieces(life is a puzzle), raindrops (i love the way water plays with light when it rains), rainbows (Gods promise that he will not destroy his people), and butterflies (personal transformation from something that felt it had no worth through meditation and reflection into something beautiful)

a cows thigh and hip bones

this was a boy meets girl project called "wobbly"

"eyes" this is a pencil and paper enlargement of a photo of courtney loves eyes. i'm not abig fan of hers but the picture was perfect for this project. thinking of doing another f the boys eyes for my bedroom

"baby adam" this was created specifically for a friends baby room. on the inside it says 'may you always have what you need'

there is another painting to be posted as soon as i can get with a friend to give her the anniversary painting. :)

was it about little boys spending a day without pants on that makes them think that they are getting away with something?
do little girls do this too?
elijah is screaming about how he's having a pants off dance off... i need to stop teaching him things.
