My Last Hymn With My Mother.


                                                This painting was inspired by Mrs. Germans Funeral.   Every Dec. Mr. and Mrs. German delivered a tin container of delicious chocolate chip cookies.   Her name was taped to the bottom of the tin so that the container was properly  returned .   If her container was not returned you were crossed off the cookie list.     Returning  the round empty tin for the anticipation of next years chocolate chip cookies was always a pleasure ,because  it meant we could sit in her living room and enjoy  our annual conversation about life.

Weaving Color

     
                                         In this painting I worked on pushing color to define the interior while at the same time not being concerned with realism and letting the shapes stay  as they landed.

Movement.

             This painting took on a life of its own.   Lots of movement perhaps because it is cold and I have not figured out how to stay warm .

My Eyes Have Seen The Glory


                       Still loving the Song Theme.    This is a painting inspired by the  book ,  Roll Jordan Roll.    The photographs are by  one of my favorites, Doris Ulmann.   I did my initial  drawing with a  paint brush attached to a stick so that my lines would stay loose and gestural.  Decided to keep the original lines and   monochromatic pallete with a few  hits of light paint .    Hoping your Sunday is full of Glory!
