I started this painting 4 months ago. It’s called “Girl with Opera Glasses” by Edgar Degas. I sketched it onto a canvas that a friend of mine found in a dumpster. The things people throw out! It already had a thick, ivory coat of paint on it. Look! There’s Knox […]

Bandit Girl and the Ladybugs III
I hope you’ve been having a wonderful summer in your neck of the woods. I know I haven’t been posting as much lately, but my time has not been my own! My Knox has an ear infection and is having some trouble with his swallow, but overall, he’s had a […]

Here’s my second bandit girl with ladybugs! These designs are fun to paint and I’ve listed this piece, as well as the first one, in Knox’s Etsy shop. All my profits from this little shop are sent to medical research for my son’s rare illness, called Cockayne Sydrome. If you, […]

Turtle Painting for Knox
I’m FINALLY done! Here are some of the photos I took during my progress. My studio was my bedroom floor… I decided at this point to make a barely perceptible face on the girl. If you walk by and just glance at the painting you’ll never notice it, […]
