Painting Therapy

I'm overdue on some painting therapy. No, not my house, even though it's not finished yet (yikes a little A.D.D.). I love to paint portraits in black and white on large particle boards or canvas. I escape into the paint and can't stop until I finish. This picture is beautiful and inspires me to paint him. I can see all the brush strokes and shadows.

Frida my Twinsie

I had fun painting this big portrait of Frida a few years

ago. It hung out with me at the Portland Sat Market...

Until people would ask if that was me.

"Forget the jewelry, is that you?"

I think I would have that same unamused look on my face.

I love her, but she had to go!

Warm Thoughts of Oahu

While in Hawaii, we had our portraits done on the main street in Waikiki.
It was 85 degrees in January!
I'd like to rewind to this moment right now...
