Babushka Mama, revisited.. SOLD in Pekin 6-'23

 I painted B. Mama several years ago and have added color and shapes to it often.  Standard matts were smallish and didn't show the entire painting.  I just added the dark path and other "darks" and actually had a matt cut to fit it.  I have always loved this for some reason.  

I think i named it Babushka Baby b/4 but Mama is more fitting. 

moody, mopey moa

 Painted this Hawaiian Chicken (Moa) this week in Watercolor. i used a photo i took 20+ years ago in Hawaii, as reference.  I stewed over the background and it is OK.. altho the left side looks a little like coleslaw.

Miss Lily & Her Pads

 I started this at our Hjemkomst gathering last week, using a photo i took when we would go on fishing trips to Canada. I remember taking it leaning over edge of the boat.  Why would i remember that?  ANYWAY  it was fun, using a small w/c kit of weird cake paints, then i spritzed it around the edges.  

Baby Shower

Attended the baby shower for my sweet step granddaughter last weekend.  Since we don't know the gender of baby, i painted teddy white.  i told her if she has a girl i can easily paint it PINK..
