HOPE 12"h x 9"w, pastel + gold leaf Collection of Noah & Angela Roden Today is Mothers Day, which I look at as not a day for adoration of Moms, yet a day for me to give thanks. I marvel at my blessings in having two wonderful children, Becca and Noah and very proud of their maturity and the individuals that they have become. I admire their families and the values they instill. And I feel a deep appreciation in knowing that they would both be by my side in time of troubles. Thank you.

DOWNFALL pastel- 11"h x 14"w SOLD - PRIVATE COLLECTOR Believe it or not, I have been painting even with all  my racing around - hard to believe, but true. I usually work simultaneously on about 9 paintings mounted on a wall  easel, with different due dates for each. May be a delusion, but I feel  I do not overwork the pastels when I work on many. Much of my current focus is work for my solo June show, Frayed , to be held at Ray Street Custom Framing and Gallery . The work will be a collection of reconstructed baby dolls and pastels, with the premise that there is always a glimmer of hope on the horizon. This sunset Downfall, is one of the pastel pieces to be included. Hope you enjoy the view!
