Ladybugs!

I had three of these stretched canvases that seemed to desire something different from me. Line designs and punches of color are what they got!

Dance!

This one is painted just for the love of the dance…” the language of the soul.” I have also noticed how black and white designs are prominent in new homes these days.

Raggedy Ann and Andy

Before I could read the words in a story book, I read the pictures of the antics of Raggedy Ann and Andy. Around the age of 4, when I was sick with the chicken pox or measles, my Mom gave me the book to number the pages….I think I got to page 23.

Happy Whites

Very loosely painted and purposely left a bit fuzzy.

Yellow Tulips in Blue Vase

The background and vase were successful; the tulips not so much. I just could not land the yellow I wanted, so this may be painted over (again).

Providence

Many thanks to the photographer of these strong mother instincts of care, sustenance, and providence. I find such wonderful images from time to time on the free photo site Pixabay.
